WASHINGTON – A mere 72 hours after the Chinese government agreed to put a half-billion dollars into an Indonesian project that will personally enrich Donald Trump, the president ordered a bailout for a Chinese-government-owned cellphone maker. “President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast,” Trump announced on Twitter Sunday morning. “Too many jobs in China lost. Commerce Department has been instructed to get it done!” Trump did not mention in that tweet or its follow-ups that on Thursday, the developer of a theme park resort outside of Jakarta had ...

If you thought the US Department of Defense's procurement adventures with the F-35 and other big-budget weapons systems are bad, you might want to check out what's going on in Europe, where defense procurement battles have left most of the German Luftwaffe grounded for lack of parts. Last week, at the annual Charlemagne Prize ceremony in Aachen, Germany—in which French President Emmanuel Macron was recognized for his efforts on behalf of European unity—German Prime Minister Angela Merkel pronounced that Europe could no longer depend on the United States for its protection. "Europe has to take its destiny into its own hands," Merkel said. "That is the task ...
New York Daily News hits new low with disgusting Jerusalem embassy opening cover [Full Thread]

An opinionated tabloid cover can be effective, but only if the point made is so obvious that an entire audience can see and relate to it. It also helps if it is humorous and has a witty headline. What it's not is garbage that looks as though it comes straight from fake news, or compares apples to oranges in the name of promoting the propaganda of some unhappy terrorist group. With the Jerusalem embassy opening, the Daily News has ventured well into the second category in its cover and is completely disgusting. President Trump's favorite daughter, Ivanka Trump Kushner, who is an Orthodox Jewish convert, was sent to Jerusalem for the U.S. embassy opening. Rather than focus on the ...

U.S. Hypocrisy Creates Perpetual Enemies and Forever War

In foreign policy, Americans like to keep it simple. Good countries versus bad countries. Democracies versus dictatorships. Of course, as Ronald Reagan reminded Americans, we are a “shining city upon a hill,” one of the goodies. What no one seems to ask is whether idealistic Americans have a clear view of the world as it is, or how their worldview affects the United States’ global image. Surely, as the U.S. enters its 17th year of perpetual war, these might be questions worth pursuing. Problem is, the truth can be disturbing. So humor me for a moment and join me on a tour of American hypocrisy and naiveté, from Africa to the South Pacific. Let’s begin with the ...
Trump Is Trying to Save Jobs—in China

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump said Sunday he has instructed his Commerce Department to help get a Chinese telecommunications company “back into business” after the U.S. government cut off access to its American suppliers. At issue is that department’s move last month to block the ZTE Corp., a major supplier of telecoms networks and smartphones based in southern China, from importing American components for seven years. The U.S. accused ZTE of misleading American regulators after it settled charges of violating sanctions against North Korea and Iran. ZTE, which has more than 70,000 employees and has supplied networks or equipment to some of the world’s biggest ...

New Data Shows Police State Facial Recognition Is WRONG Over 90% Of The Time

A police department that relies on facial recognition software has admitted that it has a false positive rate of over 90 percent. What this means is that nearly every person that is marked as a suspect by this system is actually an innocent person who will be interrogated by police, or possibly worse, because they were wrongly identified by this faulty technology. According to a report from the Guardian, the South Wales Police scanned the crowd of more than 170,000 people who attended the 2017 Champions League final soccer match in Cardiff and falsely identified thousands of innocent people. The cameras identified 2,470 people as criminals but 2,297 of them were innocent, and only 173 of ...

After listening to Trump’s speech explaining his decision to pull out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) nuclear agreement with Iran, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that Trump’s speech contained "over ten lies." Khamenei didn’t go on to name the lies. So, what were the lies Trump told? Lie #1 "The Iranian regime is the leading state sponsor of terror"The United States has long known that its ally, Saudi Arabia, and not its enemy, Iran, is the leading state sponsor of terror. All recent attempts to link Iran to terrorism have failed. Even America’s own reports on terrorism don’t list Iran as the leading ...

The effort to find and destroy the last vestiges of the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) may have gotten its biggest boost since the fall of Raqqa. Using a ruse, Iraqi intelligence enticed five of its top leaders into a trap, capturing them all alive. The operation was the culmination of a joint effort with the US and Turkey, pointing out the potential fault lines as well as synergy the combination provides: Iraq captured five Islamic State commanders after its intelligence services lured them into crossing from neighboring Syria, Iraqi state TV reported Wednesday. It described the five as “some of the most wanted” leaders of ISIS. They were named as Saddam al-Jammel, ...

So he’s finally done it. Having spent the past three years denouncing the Iran nuclear deal as “horrible,” “disastrous,” and “insane,” Donald Trump arrived in the Diplomatic Room of the White House on Tuesday afternoon to formally announce that “the United States will withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal” and would “begin reinstituting U.S. nuclear sanctions on the Iranian regime.” “This will make America much safer,” the president declaimed, jabbing his fingers at the assembled reporters. Guess who’s celebrating the president’s decision to violate a nuclear nonproliferation agreement signed by the ...

America The Weird by Victor Davis Hanson Tuesday, May 8, 2018 On first glance, America does not seem that exceptional. Like China and Russia, it is a superpower. And, also like those countries, it is huge territorially. It shares many affinities with Europe. And, like China, Japan and Germany, the United States is an economic powerhouse. And yet, it is a nation unlike any in the world. In general, outside the West, few of the seven billion people alive today enjoy human rights and the protection of property. The rule of law and freedom of expression are taken for granted in Europe and the United States, and residents there enjoy both economic prosperity and physical security. These ...

Muhammad married Aisha at the tender age of six and consummated the marriage when Aisha was 9. Under Islam, Muhammad is the “perfect model.” So under sharia law, sex with a ten-year-old is in keeping with Muhammad’s example. We expect this horror in countries under Muslim law, not the “enlightened” West. Finland is laying down for Islam. Figuratively and literally. Sex with 10 year-old not rape, Finnish court rules in migrant’s case RT, May 6, 2018: In a case that has triggered public outrage, a top Finnish court has upheld a ruling that sex between an asylum seeker and a 10-year-old girl didn’t constitute rape.

Free Thought Project – by Matt Agorist The current conflict in Yemen, which was manufactured as a proxy war by Saudi Arabia, targeting its bitter enemy, Iran, is America’s dirty little secret which the media refuses to question. According to an analysis from Unicef, more than 5,000 children have been slaughtered in the war, with the death toll from violence alone surpassing 10,000—as millions teeter on the brink of starvation. The number of casualties has only continued to increase, as a report from the United Nations noted that the parties involved are conducting operations “heedless of their impact on civilians.” ...

Or maybe they should stop sucking up to Iran. That’s the real subtext of the surprising rhetoric coming from Mohammed bin Salman, the young crown prince of Saudi Arabia who’s rewriting the Middle East script after seizing power in a family feud last year. Barak Ravid reports for Axios that MBS, as he’s colloquially known, told representatives of Jewish groups last month that while Saudi Arabia still wants a just and lasting settlement for the Palestinians, they could have gotten that themselves. Now, MBS says, it’s time to make a deal or “shut up and stop complaining”: According to my sources, the Saudi Crown Prince told the Jewish leaders: “In the last ...

Last Monday, the North Yorkshire Police department took to Twitter to harass and intimidate otherwise entirely innocent people by bragging about a man going to jail who had been caught on one of their traffic cameras flipping it off. “Top tip: If you want to stay out of trouble, don’t do what this driver did and swear at our mobile safety cameras while driving past in a car fitted with a laser jammer. Today he’s beginning 8 months in jail for perverting the course of justice,” tweeted the department. According to the police department, “perverting the course of justice” has nothing to do with kidnapping and caging a man who has caused harm to no one and ...
