The operation on Tuesday moved quickly, raising hopes that all 12 boys and their adult coach from the Wild Boars soccer team would be on the surface by the end of the day. "Today, the boar's pack will be reunited again," the Thai navy SEALs, which is helping to lead the operation, said on its Facebook page.

Port-au-Prince (AFP) - Scenes of anarchy alternated with tentative signs of a return to normal life in Haiti's capital, with calls for a general strike Monday after two days of deadly looting and arson triggered by a quickly-aborted government attempt to raise fuel prices. With the death toll rising to four, protesters in the impoverished Caribbean country called for a two-day general strike, despite the government's climbdown over the price increases. Many Haitians are now demanding the immediate departure of President Jovenel Moise. "If the president stays one more day, the game will take on a new appearance: we will cut off the roads and burn everything, because we have ...

Aides struggle to talk Trump out of launching invasion In August of 2017, President Trump surprised many by openly talking about the idea of launching a military attack on Venezuela. The public talk of this didn’t last long, and it has been all but forgotten. But not forgotten by President Trump. Aides say that since August President Trump has repeatedly pushed aides on the matter, and that a number of different cabinet members have had to take turns trying to talk Trump out of the idea. They have succeeded so far, but Trump hasn’t dropped the idea. Of course, there is no Congressional authorization, or anything resembling it, on the books authorizing a US invasion of Venezuela. ...
LONDON MAYOR SADIQ KHAN AGREES TO FLY TRUMP IN A DIAPER BLIMP DURING POTUS VISIT

The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who has previously expressed disdain for President Trump, has agreed a request to fly a blimp made up to look like a baby Trump in a diaper during the President’s state visit next week. The 20-foot-tall blimp has been made by a protester in Britain who intends to fly it over parliament simply to ridicule the President during the visit because in his own words, “Trump has a tremendously fragile ego.” “We want to make sure he knows that all of Britain is looking down on him and laughing at him,” the man Leo Murray told NBC News last month. Now, after originally saying that the ‘Trump Baby’ was not legitimate protest, ...

Posted satirical image on private Facebook group, fined for hate speech A 64-year-old Swedish man was convicted of hate speech after posting a cartoon to a private Facebook group that made fun of Islam. The man added a comment under the image in which he asserted that Muslims were “pedophiles” and “must be stopped and (have) no access to Europe.” The satirical image was drawn by cartoonist Jan-Erik Ander. It shows two Muslim men including one holding a pram with a child. “Grandchild?” asks one of the men, to which the other responds, “No, this is my new wife!” The joke is based on the factual premise that child marriage is routine in many ...

A giant balloon dubbed the "Trump Baby" will be allowed to fly near London's Parliament during President Trump's visit on July 13, the activist group behind it says. The balloon's flight was approved by Mayor Sadiq Khan after more than 10,000 people signed a petition and more than 1,000 people raised over $20,000 through a crowdfunding campaign.That's a reversal from last week, when city officials denied the group permission to fly the "Trump Baby" blimp over Parliament Square."We didn't get off to the best start with the Mayor's office over this, who originally told us that they didn't recognize Trump Baby as legitimate ...
Mexico’s New Leftist President Is Not A Threat, But The Collapse Of Mexico Is

The real danger isn't that Mexico elected a left-wing populist as president, it’s that the new president won’t be able to govern his country Andrés Manuel López Obrador won the Mexican presidency in a landslide election on Sunday. Obrador—or Amlo, as he’s commonly called—is a left-wing populist of the sort common to Latin America. A former mayor of Mexico City who twice ran for president and lost, in 2006 and 2012, the 64-year-old Obrador, who spent decades as a radical outsider in Mexican politics, now finds himself in the seat of power in a country that’s falling apart. During his populist campaign, the silver-haired Obrador railed ...

U.S. assessing cost of keeping troops in Germany as Trump battles with Europe
Post Date: 2018-06-30 10:55:59 by Tooconservative
5 Comments
The Pentagon is analyzing the cost and impact of a large-scale withdrawal or transfer of American troops stationed in Germany, amid growing tensions between President Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel, according to people familiar with the work. The effort follows Trump’s expression of interest in removing the troops, made during a meeting earlier this year with White House and military aides, U.S. officials said. Trump was said to have been taken aback by the size of the U.S. presence, which includes about 35,000 active-duty troops, and complained that other countries were not contributing fairly to joint security or paying enough to NATO. Word of the assessment has alarmed ...
Sebastian Kurz looks to be the driving force in Europe

After helping to organize the “Axis of the Willing” and putting Angela Merkel in a very precarious position in Germany, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz is poised to reshape the direction of the European Union. Or so he hopes, anyway. Working with Germany’s Foreign Minister along with the leaders of Italy, Hungary, Poland and others, Kurz is poised to essentially seal off Europe from African migrants and restore normal border security between nations. And all of this is happening at a time when Austria is set to take their turn in the rotating leadership of the European Union. At only 31 years of age, the “rock star of the European right” has come a long way. ...
Why No Outrage Over U.S. Killing of Children?
Post Date: 2018-06-28 13:09:35 by Deckard

National outrage over President Trump’s policy of separating immigrant children from their parents as a way to deter illegal immigration into the United States has forced the president to abandon the policy. The outrage came from all sides of the political spectrum, especially from the left, and from the mainstream media. Trump’s policy is obviously cruel and brutal, given that it uses children as pawns to achieve a political end. No matter how much psychological damage is inflicted on children owing to the fear that comes with forced separation, the idea is that such emotional damage is worth it given the aim of preventing or discouraging illegal immigration to the United States. ...

The simple fact is that the U.S. is not winning the war.The ceasefire in Afghanistan came to an unmistakable end Wednesday when 30 Afghan government soldiers were killed in a Taliban attack in a western province. You may not have noticed the end of the ceasefire because you may not have noticed the start of the ceasefire, just a few days earlier. You should not feel guilty. Seventeen years after the U.S. invaded, there is still not much reason to pay attention to Afghanistan, because nothing ever changes much. Yet we remain there in the obstinate hope that something will. We stay because we don't know what else to do. The simple fact is that we are not winning the war—and if you ...

(Bloomberg) -- To arrive at the El Paraiso water-filling station in Caracas by sunrise, Rigoberto Sanchez wakes before 4 a.m. Hours later, his tanker is in a slow-moving line with a dozen others. Only two of the 10 pumps work and Sanchez will have time for a couple of deliveries if he’s lucky. If he’s luckier, the military won’t intercept him. “They hijack our trucks, just like that,” said Sanchez, leaning on a rusty railing. “Once that happens, you’re in their hands, you have to drive the truck wherever they want you to.”’ Venezuela’s military has come to oversee the desperate and lucrative water trade as reservoirs empty, broken pipes ...
Mad Dog Mattis, the destroyer of Raqqa, frets about losing moral authority

RT It’s parallel universe time when US Pentagon chief James ‘Mad Dog’ Mattis complains that America’s “moral authority” is being undermined by others – specifically Russian leader Vladimir Putin. This is the ex-Marine general who gained his ruthless reputation from when illegally occupying US troops razed the Iraqi city of Fallujah in the 2004-2005 using “shake and bake” bombardment of inhabitants with banned white phosphorus incendiaries. A repeat of those war crimes happened again last year under Mattis’ watch as Pentagon chief when US warplanes obliterated the Syrian city of Raqqa, killing thousands of civilians. ...
A mystery: Italy seizing migrant rescue ships, but who owns them? [Soros]

After Italy turned away one ship carrying migrants from northern Africa this month, they’re now upping the ante, saying that they plan to seize two additional ships which have been ferrying migrants back and forth on the Mediterranean. The two ships, the Lifeline and the Seefuchs, claim to be picking up refugees stranded at sea and say that they are Dutch ships on a mission of mercy. But the Italians say that they are illegally flying the Dutch flag and may, in fact, be engaged in human smuggling operations. (BBC) Italy says it will seize two migrant rescue ships in the Mediterranean, citing doubts over their legal status. Italian authorities said the Lifeline and Seefuchs, operated ...
Bannon, Salvini, And A Powerful Catholic Cardinal Are Gunning For Pope Francis

As the populist wave continues to rise throughout Europe - most recently in Italy where refugees are now being turned away, prominent conservative Catholics are coming together to take on Pope Francis. At the center of the intra-faith efforts are Steve Bannon, along with Italy's new interior minister Matteo Salvini and American Cardinal Raymond Burke - all of whom are staunchly opposed to liberal open-border policies advocated by the Pope. Francis is a harsh critic of secure borders, and an advocate of unchecked migration - calling President Trump "un-Christian" for wanting to build his wall (which would be around 30-feet, the same height as the wall surrounding the ...

Watch the video. Look at the passenger’s arrogance, belligerence, and sense of entitlement. “She should have respected me and my religion.” We see these demands for respect again and again from Muslims who have actually done nothing to deserve respect. The demands for respect come from Islam’s inculcation of a supremacist mentality in the believers. They believe that they’re entitled to submission and obeisance from non-Muslims, particularly since the Quran tells Muslims that they are “the best of peoples” (3:110). “British Muslim passenger rants at air stewardess and calls her a ‘fucking slut’ and a ‘bitch’ for serving him a ...

HAMBURG, Germany — Most people can agree that international affairs should not be conducted by tweet — especially when the tweeter in question is Donald Trump. Among other reasons, it’s easy to dismiss the president’s mercurial rage and flagrant insults as little more than temper tantrums. But that’s a mistake. Mr. Trump’s anger at America’s allies embodies, however unpleasantly, a not unreasonable point of view, and one that the rest of the world ignores at its peril: The global world order is unbalanced and inequitable. And unless something is done to correct it soon, it will collapse, with or without the president’s tweets. While the West ...

Can the global financial system handle a full-blown trade war between the two largest economies on the entire planet? We have never seen anything like this happen in the modern age, and this is creating a tremendous amount of uncertainty for the financial markets. Yes, something had to be done, and I have been writing about this for years. China has been stealing our intellectual property, manipulating currency rates and slapping high tariffs on American goods. We simply could not allow China to continue to take advantage of us, but now we are so dependent on the Chinese that a trade war with them is going to inevitably produce a great deal of pain. We are all ...
James Hansen wishes he wasn't so right about global warming

NEW YORK (AP) — James Hansen wishes he was wrong. He wasn't. NASA's top climate scientist in 1988, Hansen warned the world on a record hot June day 30 years ago that global warming was here and worsening. In a scientific study that came out a couple months later, he even forecast how warm it would get, depending on emissions of heat-trapping gases. The hotter world that Hansen envisioned in 1988 has pretty much come true so far, more or less. Three decades later, most climate scientists interviewed rave about the accuracy of Hansen's predictions given the technology of the time. Hansen won't say, "I told you so." "I don't want to be right in that ...
'GET A GRIP' Moped crime epidemic, weekly stabbings and housing failures: Tory report reveals the true cost of London’s two years under Sadiq Khan

The Mayor's half term report doesn't look good in a new analysis - as London's crime wave continues to take lives SADIQ Khan's two years in office has cost Londoners dearly with broken promises, a spiralling crime wave and higher taxes, a new report claims. The 'Cost of Khan' dossier, compiled by leader of the Tories in the London Assembly, says Mr Khan isn't delivering for the capital. Its author, Gareth Bacon AM, said the Mayor had spent too long pumping out his self-congratulatory propaganda, and urged him to "get a grip" during the second half of his four year term in office. He told The Sun: "It’s been two years since London voted in ...

If there is one field where the liberal news media gets all paranoid and totally out of control, it’s foreign policy in the age of Trump. The president is going to start a nuclear war because he tweets. Did anyone really believe that who wasn’t an addict of MSNBC (or is it MSDNC)? He’s not a madman. In fact, President Trump was given much credit by South Korea for brining North Korea to the negotiating table. Discussions about denuclearization and a peace treaty to end the Korean War were also discussed. Kim Jong-un, the murderous dictator of North Korea, also ventured onto South Korean soil to meet President Moon Jae-in, a first since the end of the Korean War. No nuclear ...
Asylum Seeker’s Rape/Murder [of 14yo Jewish girl] Roils Germany

Chancellor Angela Merkel’s policy of admitting into Germany hundreds of thousands of purported “refugees”–out of a misplaced sense of guilt, apparently–has been a disaster. The policy is appropriately unpopular, even more so following the latest outrage, the rape and murder of a 14 year old girl by an Iraqi whose plea for refugee status was turned down. The New York Times reports, with surprising objectivity: It was a gruesome murder: A 14-year-old girl was raped and strangled, her body buried under brushwood in a secluded area near the railway tracks near her hometown in western Germany. But the fact that the chief suspect is an Iraqi asylum seeker has turned a ...
