Here’s a little gallows humor by conservative talk show host, Michael Savage.
‘Is Trump’s war over?’, asks Savage. He did, however, claim a small victory in the N. Carolina bathroom case being tossed out by the DOJ.
Moreover, Savage lamented with a dispirited tonality to expect ‘small wins’ during the Trump reign — humorously saying we’d have ‘small wars’ — ‘here a lunch, there a launch, everywhere a launch launch.’
If you’re eating something while listening to the clip, please swallow your food first. At around the 2:55 mark, Savage described our missiles as being ‘beautiful missiles’ and then our submarines as ‘beautiful, big submarines, very beautiful, very big submarines’ — an obvious attempt to mock President Trump’s repetitive cadence and syntax.
He declined to provide proof that could put this debate to rest, saying ‘there are things that were used to form the base of our conclusions that we can’t reveal.’ Then he went on to discredit Putin, by pointing to previous instances when the Russian leader was less than forthcoming — such as eastern Ukraine and the Malaysian airliner incident.
Pompeo also discussed Julian Assange’s Wikileaks, saying: ‘This absurd definition would have all serious media organizations (with the exception of state owned media) transformed into ‘non-state intelligence services’– with the explicitly stated goal of stripping constitutional protections for publishers.’
Assange replied with a mic drop tweet.
Called a “non-state intelligence service” today by the “state non-intelligence agency” which produced al-Qaeda, ISIS, Iraq, Iran & Pinochet.
The first round of French elections will be held on April 23rd, prompting Facebook to shut down pro Le Pen accounts, which they deem to be ‘fake.’
In an effort to fight ‘fake news’ or misinformation, Facebook has targeted 30,000 ‘fake accounts’ in order to control the information that its users consume.
In a statement to AFP, the company said they were trying to “reduce the spread of material generated through inauthentic activity, including spam, misinformation, or other deceptive content that is often shared by creators of fake accounts.”
They are targeting accounts with the highest amount of traffic — since they pose a grave threat to the croissant eating frog lovers in France.
In addition to outright bans, the company, in conjunction with French media, are running ‘fact checking’ programs — designed to fight ‘fake news’, heightening their efforts around the elections — which spans from 4/23-5/7.
All of this hysteria happened after Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump’s twitter account this past November — prompting officials to pressure Facebook and Twitter to do something about the brazen belittling and subversion of the main stream media. Last week, the company launched a tool to help its users identify ‘fake news’ in 14 countries — including the U.S., France and Germany.
About a month ago, Facebook disabled our Facebook account, after we posted a picture of Chuck Schumer with Vlad Putin. This was a widely circulated news story at the time, which involved zero deception or any of the hallmarks that could be construed as being ‘fake news.’ Nevertheless, we lost access to the account and have ceased using the platform since then.
For those who publish independently and rely upon the ‘socials’ for traffic, heed the warnings given by Matt Drudge, founder of the Drudge Report, who compared them to ghettos — corporate controlled denizens of propaganda.
Face it, fuckers, this is what freedom looks like — an insidious cocktail of blood and guts strewn out across a blackened landscape filled with death, despair and the sounds of agony.
You know Fox has gone off the rails when Bill Kristol is the voice of reason.
I have no problem with using #MOAB if best for military objective. But to be honest, isn't the high-fiving about it a bit creepy?
The United States has north of 60,000 soldiers stationed near the N. Korean theatre. Maybe Father Trump is right in starting a world war. There are rampant reports that a full scale ground war is underway in Syria involving more than 10,000 US troops. As a society, we’ve been softened by mentally ill libtards — made to waffle and lose grip of reality amidst a degradation of morals and family structure. Perhaps we’ve gone past the point of no return, and on a macro level, we need to be bloodied, in order to build a generation of hardened men who can lead by example.
Here’s what we’re sending to join our forces in the region.
With that in mind, a US carrier group, led by the USS Carl Vinson is heading towards N. Korea, which will be accompanied by several Japanese destroyers. A quickening of crisis looms just around the bend — with President Trump committing to striking N. Korea if they test a nuclear bomb or a long range missile. In response to these provocations, N. Korea ordered the evacuation of 600,000 citizens from Pyongyang and issued the following statements.
In a statement provided to CNN by officials in North Korea, Pyongyang said the “current grim situation” justified its “self-defensive and pre-emptive strike capabilities with the nuclear force at the core.”
“We will make the US fully accountable for the catastrophic consequences that may be brought about by its high-handed and outrageous acts,” the statement said.
“By relentlessly bringing in a number of strategic nuclear assets to the Korean peninsula, the U.S. is gravely threatening the peace and safety and driving the situation to the brink of a nuclear war.”
North Korea’s vice foreign minister on Friday blamed President Trump for building up a “vicious cycle” of tensions on the Korean Peninsula, saying his “aggressive” tweets were “making trouble.”
In an exclusive interview with The Associated Press in Pyongyang, Vice Minister Han Song Ryol also warned the U.S. against provoking North Korea militarily, saying, “We will go to war if they choose.”
“If the U.S. comes with reckless military maneuvers then we will confront it with the DPRK’s pre-emptive strike,” Han said, referring to North Korea by its official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. “We’ve got a powerful nuclear deterrent already in our hands, and we certainly will not keep our arms crossed in the face of a U.S. pre-emptive strike.”
“Trump is always making provocations with his aggressive words,” Han said. “So that’s why. It’s not the DPRK but the U.S. and Trump that makes trouble.”
“As long as the nuclear threats and blackmail go on with the military exercises, we will carry forward with our national defense buildup, the core of which is the nuclear arms buildup,” Han said.
“Whatever comes from the U.S., we will cope with it. We are fully prepared to handle it.”
So, N. Korea doesn’t like Trump’s aggressive words and tweets. This is rich, coming from a failed state that has menaced the United States will a nuclear winter for the past 20 years.
Now for some analysis.
Globalist shill and former head of the CIA, Leon Panetta, says Seoul will be ‘wiped out’, all 20 million people dead — should N. Korea engage in nuclear war.
Couple this with reports that China sent 150,000 soldiers to the N. Korea border, which would be used to contain a massive influx of N. Korean migrants into China in the event of a conflagration, it looks likely that the beginnings of World War 3 are taking shape.
About a month ago, Fox suspended Judge Nap for suggesting British intelligence had spied on Donald Trump. The media went hysterical, saying the good judge was filled with UFO styled conspiracy theories.
Here was his claim.
A spokesman for the GCHQ at the time called the claims ‘nonsense’, proclaiming “They are utterly ridiculous and should be ignored.”
Lo and behold, the Guardian is out with an exclusive tonight — rebuking the GCHQ denial — confirming that Obama had received information from the British spy agency, possibly to avoid being detected by people investigating FISA warrants. In addition to Britain’s GCHQ, Mi6 was also involved, and 4 other nations — as part of the intelligence gathering apparatus called SIGINT — who then ferried their findings to Obama. The spying nations were Germany, Estonia, Poland and Australia.
Another guardian source said both France and the Netherlands were possible contributors to the Trump spying ring too.
CNN reporting:
The GCHQ became aware of ‘suspicious interactions’ in late 2015.
Over the next six months, until summer 2016, a number of western agencies shared further information on contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians, sources said.
It is understood that GCHQ was at no point carrying out a targeted operation against Trump or his team or proactively seeking information. The alleged conversations were picked up by chance as part of routine surveillance of Russian intelligence assets. Over several months, different agencies targeting the same people began to see a pattern of connections that were flagged to intelligence officials in the US.
In typical spin, the Guardian’s source posited the notion that something improper had taken place between the Russians and Trump.
“It looks like the [US] agencies were asleep,” the source added. “They [the European agencies] were saying: ‘There are contacts going on between people close to Mr Trump and people we believe are Russian intelligence agents. You should be wary of this.’
“The message was: ‘Watch out. There’s something not right here.’”
The Guardian claims the GCHQ head, Robert Hannigan, passed the information in the summer of 2016 to the CIA boss, John Brennan. In turn, Brennan told the ‘gang of eight’ in the House and Senate that there was evidence Russia was trying to swing the election towards Trump, then reported by the NYT.
According to the Guardian, intelligence agencies were progressing in their attempts to tie the hacking of John Podesta’s email box, Russia, and the Trump team.
“They now have specific concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion,” the source said. “This is between people in the Trump campaign and agents of [Russian] influence relating to the use of hacked material.”
A little more than a month ago, Exodus flagged the gold sector oversold. As you can see by the industry oscillator here, it marked the low point in the sector, to the day, on March 7th.
The subsequent result was sharply higher equity prices, to the tune of +15%.
While it’s entirely possible for the sector to pull back, our algorithms suggest there’s more room to the upside before it cools down.
$NUGT, $USLV and $UGLD are preferred plays in the space.
For the first time ever, the United States dropped what some call “The Mother of All Bombs” on ISIS. Weighing 30,000 pounds with a blast radius of 1 mile in each direction, it is the largest non-nuclear bomb ever used in a field of battle.
It was dropped in the Nangarhar of Afghanistan.
Interestingly, the country everyone wants war with possesses the “Father of All Bombs”.
GBU-43/B (I do not think this is the 30k version, but the old 21k)
Now you take look at our bomba, yes comrade. We drop two in San Fransicko, free of charge.
The MOAB is made by $BA, with a price tag of $15m each. Back in 2011, the United States ordered 20 of them for $314m.
NOTE: The media is reporting the MOAB is just 21,000 pounds. A cursory search suggests it’s much bigger, at 30k. Moreover, the old MOAB at 21k has been used before during our wars, so I am thinking the bomb dropped today is the one ordered in 2011.
After I read this report, one of my eyebrows raised to express my skepticism.
The Syrian government is claiming American warplanes hit a terrorist controlled chemical weapons depot, that ‘killed hundreds.’
Russia said they don’t know what the hell Assad is talking about and has sent drones to the area to investigate.
“The Russian Defense Ministry does not possess information confirming reports of deaths and the type of the destriction as a result of the US-led coalition’s bombing near Deir ez-Zor.”
“Unmanned aerial vehicles have been sent to the area to monuitor the situation,” the ministry added.
Interestingly, Washpo reporter, Erin Cunningham, just tweeted a CENTCOM notice that stated American forces accidentally killed 18 innocents in an April 11th bombing. No word if any pictures of dead babies will be popping up on CNN this afternoon, documenting the tragedy.
