The Guardian Donald Trump has asked for files to be prepared on pardoning several US military members accused of or convicted of war crimes, including one slated to stand trial on charges of shooting unarmed civilians while in Iraq, the New York Times reported. Trump has frequently expressed interest in such cases, which have become causes célèbre among Republicans and rightwing media including Fox News. Earlier this month he pardoned Matthew Behenna, a former US soldier who was convicted in 2009 of killing an Iraqi prisoner. According to the Times, which cited two unnamed US officials, Trump requested the immediate preparation of paperwork ...

56 People shop for groceries at a popular supermarket specializing in U.S. and European imported food and goods in Beijing on May 17, 2019. (STEPHEN SHAVER/UPI/Newscom) Last week, President Donald Trump announced he would impose new tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of goods produced in China. Many of those tariffed goods—just like the U.S. goods China has imposed retaliatory tariffs on—are farm products. Consequently, this latest round of tariffs is expected to add to the already higher prices Americans are paying for a variety of foods.U.S. agricultural exports to China totaled $20 billion in 2017. Those exports come in about as broad a range as you could imagine. ...

(Charles Bertram/MCT/Newscom) The brand new Camrys rolling off the assembly line at the world's largest Toyota plant in Georgetown, Kentucky, might be a threat to American national security—but apparently the threat is not serious enough to justify immediate action.That's the message the White House delivered on Friday morning when it announced that President Donald Trump would wait another six months before imposing threatened tariffs on imported cars and car parts. At the same time, the White House also released a report detailing the legal rationale for raising those tariffs, should the president decide to do so.After a months-long review of automotive imports into the ...

Police fined a pedestrian £90 for disorderly behaviour after he tried to cover his face when he saw a controversial facial recognition camera on a street in London. Officers set up the camera on a van in Romford, East London, which then cross-checked photos of faces of passers-by against a database of wanted criminals. But one man was unimpressed about being filmed and covered his face with his hat and jacket, before being stopped by officers who took his picture anyway.After being pulled aside, the man told police: ‘If I want to cover me face, I’ll cover me face. Don’t push me over when I’m walking down the street.’It comes just weeks after it was ...
With the US-Iran War Ball Now Rolling, Could an “Accident” or “False Flag” Serve as Pretext?

As tensions between the U.S. and Iran threaten to boil over, the probability of a provocation or “accident” that would provoke hostilities between the two countries is higher than ever. U.K. Foreign Minister Jeremy Hunt, after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, openly stated as much on Monday, telling reporters in Brussels that the U.K. was worried of a conflict breaking out between the U.S. and Iran by “accident with an escalation that is unintended really on either side but ends with some kind of conflict.” Yet, current and past events make it clear that such an “accidental” provocation is unlikely to be purely accidental in nature, as forces ...

He would become yet another politician who believes American greatness lies in policing the worldHere’s a vexing question for Republicans. Does Donald Trump know why he won the presidency in 2016? As the chances of war with Iran – war by design or war by miscalculation – appear to increase, this question grows ever more pressing.In 2016, Trump ran on such an anti-interventionist platform that you half expected to wake up and find that he’d received all-important endorsements from Noam Chomsky, Angela Davis and the ghost of Susan Sontag. This was Trump at his best. He launched an astonishing broadside against the Bush family in South Carolina:‘We should’ve never ...

The president’s double-talk about tariffs reflects his economically ignorant conviction that exports are good and imports are bad.Larry Kudlow, Donald Trump's chief economic adviser, understands that tariffs on Chinese imports are a tax paid by American companies and consumers—a point his boss refuses to acknowledge. The president's weird insistence that "China" pays the tariffs reflects not just his reluctance to take responsibility for tax increases but his longstanding, sincere, and fundamentally mistaken views on international trade—views that do not bode well for the outcome of his trade war."Tariffs are NOW being paid to the United States by China ...

Iranian Army in 2016. (Creative Commons/Wikimedia) National Security Advisor John Bolton’s announcement this week that the U.S. is deploying a carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region seemed perfectly framed to put America on a war footing with Iran. And it is. Claiming that the decision was made in response to “a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings,” Bolton declared that “the United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime.” But, he added, “we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces.” It took ...

Last year I asked the question “Will Trump torch the global economy on the bonfire of his vanity?” A year later we have the answer. It’s a resounding, “Yes.” I wrote after Trump pulled out of the JCPOA: Donald Trump wants regime change in Iran. His cancellation of the JCPOA was a decision born of his myopia. He has surrounded himself with people who reinforce his view and manipulate him via his vanity.And the price of implementing his current plan will be a global debt crisis which no one will escape. … He wants to remake America and the world in his image while undoing anything President Obama touched… We have a leaked (yeah, right) ...

In direct contradiction to the scare stories about carbon dioxide being relentlessly pushed by the climate change alarmists, a scientific study published in Nature Climate Change and highlighted by NASA reveals that rising carbon dioxide levels are having a tremendously positive impact on the re-greening of planet Earth over the last three decades, with some regions experiencing over a 50% increase in plant life. The study, entitled, “Greening of the Earth and its drivers,” used satellite data to track and map the expansion of green plant growth across the globe from 1982 – 2015. Published in 2016, this study found that rising atmospheric carbon dioxide causes ...
Maria Butina gets 18 months in the slammer for being a Kremlin agent

WASHINGTON — In a quivering voice, Maria Butina begged for leniency Friday as she awaited sentencing on charges of being a secret agent for Russia. She cast herself as an innocent caught up in a massive geopolitical power game. But a federal judge sentenced her to 18 months in prison followed by deportation. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan sided with prosecutors, who said the 30-year-old Russian deliberately obscured her true purposes while developing backdoor contacts inside the American conservative movement to advance the interests of Russia. The sentence can be appealed and Butina will get credit for her time in jail since her high-profile arrest in July 2018. The case ...
Canada: Taxpayer-Funded CBC Puts Jihad Murderer Omar Khadr On Easter Sunday Show

Trudeau gave Omar Khadr, who confessed to murdering an American soldier, $10,500,000 for supposedly being mistreated in Guantanamo. And now this. It is clear which side the CBC, Canada’s quintessential enemedia organ, is on, just as it is clear which side all of the Western political and media elites are on. What remains an open question is whether Canadians will repudiate the CBC’s treasonous outlook and demand that media outlets actually represent and protect Canadians, rather than continually sell them out, and whether the populations of other countries in the West will do the same. “DISGUSTING: Taxpayer-Funded CBC Puts Omar Khadr On Easter Sunday Show,” by Spencer ...

"The next major conflict may be won or lost in space," Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan said at the Space Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Tuesday. "We must confront reality. Weapons are currently deployed by our competitors that can attack our assets in space." Shanahan said that the U.S. Military "is not moving fast enough to stay ahead" of its rivals China and Russia in the space race. He warned that both countries have already acquired weapon technologies with the intent to strike American spy satellites in the event of conflict.

The Washington Establishment Seems Pretty Happy About Julian Assange's Arrest
Post Date: 2019-04-12 06:55:04 by Deckard

The bipartisan consensus following WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's arrest Thursday morning was that justice is finally being served. Few, if any, politicians defended Assange or suggested that it might be wrong to prosecute him. British police arrested Assange, who had been living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London after Ecuadorian officials reportedly got tired of harboring him. Federal prosecutors in the U.S. are now trying to extradite Assange so he can face a "charge of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion for agreeing to break a password to a classified U.S. government computer," according to a Department of Justice press release. The response from elected ...

What do you do with a neighbor who doesn’t want to stay but still won’t go away? You give them a push — and France did exactly that yesterday and today to the Brexit-paralyzed UK. As Theresa May goes to the EU to ask for a longer delay without any evidence of parliamentary support for the deal she negotiated, French ministers publicly rejected the idea: French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Saturday that it was time for the Brexit crisis to end, saying that it couldn’t continue to dominate EU discussions. “It’s time that this situation ended,” he told reporters on the sidelines of a G7 meeting in Dinard, northern France. “We can’t ...

This week President Trump admitted what the Washington policy establishment of both parties would rather be kept quiet. Asked why he intervened to block a new round of sanctions on North Korea, he told the media that he believes the people of North Korea have suffered enough. "They are suffering greatly in North Korea…And I just didn't think additional sanctions at this time were necessary,” he said.The foreign policy establishment in Washington, whether they are neocons, “humanitarian interventionists,” so-called “realists,” or even progressives have long embraced sanctions as a way to pressure governments into doing what Washington wants without ...
