Russia Snaps, Accuses UK, Germany And France Of "Grossly Interfering" In The US Election

Having listened stoically for the past two months to accusations without evidence that Moscow "hacked the US election", and that Hillary's loss was indirectly due to Putin's alleged meddling, which resulted in Obama's expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats, on Wednesday Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov finally snapped, and lashed out at the ongoing US election scapegoating fiasco, saying that leaders and top officials from the UK, Germany, and France have “grossly interfered” in US internal affairs, “campaigned” for Hillary Clinton, and openly “demonized” Donald Trump. Unlike US accusations of Russian interference, at least Lavrov's ...
Why Do Jewish Leaders Want Anti-Israel Refugees?

The 2014 WaPo caption: "People hold a banner"--they mean "Arab Immigrants hold a banner" The Main Stream Media predicts Donald J. Trump will appeal for “national unity” in his Inaugural Address this Friday, but they’ve been mistaken before. One way he could wrong-foot the Narrative: by announcing an immediate pause in “refugee” admissions, currently surging, to be followed by a zero quota for the next fiscal year—something that, by a legal quirk, he has absolute authority to do. There would be hysteria, in which the major Jewish organizations would, almost certainly, join. My question: why would they do that? The major Jewish ...
Pat Buchanan:Reagan and Trump–American Nationalists

Since World War II, the two men who have most terrified this city by winning the presidency are Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump. And they have much in common. Both came out of the popular culture, Reagan out of Hollywood, Trump out of a successful reality TV show. Both possessed the gifts of showmen— extraordinarily valuable political assets in a television age that deals cruelly with the uncharismatic. Both became instruments of insurgencies out to overthrow the establishment of the party whose nomination they were seeking. Reagan emerged as the champion of the postwar conservatism that had captured the Republican Party with Barry Goldwater’s nomination in 1964. His victory in ...
Donald Trump rattles Europe by branding the NATO alliance ‘obsolete’

ANGELA MERKEL has led a sharp European response to Donald Trump after he branded the NATO military alliance “obsolete” and criticised the German chancellor’s “catastrophic” open-door refugee policy. In an explosive interview with German newspaper Bild and The Times of London, Trump unleashed a volley of verbal attacks on Europe, hailing Britain’s decision to leave the European Union and saying more countries were going to quit the bloc. “I said a long time ago — that NATO had problems. Number one it was obsolete, because it was, you know, designed many, many years ago,” he said. “Number two — the countries aren’t paying what ...
Donald Trump: Kremlin Employee of the Month?

The humor writer Andy Borowitz recently joked that Donald Trump had been named the Kremlin’s “employee of the month.” I giggled at that, and then winced. It’s painful even to joke about.Some of the most explosive reports about America in the last few days appeared in Israeli newspapers. They suggested that American intelligence officials had warned Israel to “be careful” about sharing classified information with the Trump White House, for fear that it would be given to Russia.American intelligence officials reportedly cautioned that Vladimir Putin might have “leverages of pressure” to extort Trump. That presumably was a reference to the hanky-panky ...
Top Bishop: Europe Will Soon Be Muslim Because of Our Stupidit

Everyone in Italy and the rest of Europe will “soon be Muslim” because of the country’s “stupidity”, a prominent Italian archbishop has said. Monsignor Carlo Liberati, Archbishop Emeritus of Pompeii, said that Islam will soon become Europe’s main religion thanks to the huge number of Muslim migrants alongside the increasing secularism of native Europeans. Speaking to Italian Catholic journal La Fede Quotidiana, the archbishop said: “In 10 years we will all be Muslims because of our stupidity. Italy and Europe live in a pagan and atheist way, they make laws that go against God and they have traditions that are proper of paganism. “All of this moral ...

A screen grab of Russia Today broadcast on C-SPAN.(Photo: C-SPAN)As if Russia hasn't been on the minds of Americans enough lately, C-SPAN viewers got another taste Thursday when Russia Today suddenly replaced the regular C-SPAN programming. In one second, viewers could see and hear Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., speaking on the U.S. House floor during a hearing about Securities and Exchange Commission, and in the next, viewers heard Caribbean steel drum music to what appeared to be a story about San Escobar, a non-existent country accidentally cited by Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski when talking to media in New York this week.

The Establishment’s Fake News Assault On Trump

“Fake news!” roared Donald Trump, the work of “sick people.” The president-elect was referring to a 35-page dossier of lurid details of his alleged sexual misconduct in Russia, worked up by a former British spy. A two-page summary of the 35 pages had been added to Trump’s briefing by the CIA and FBI–and then leaked to CNN. This is “something that Nazi Germany would have done,” Trump said. Here, basically, is the story. During the primaries, anti-Trump Republicans hired the ex-spy to do “oppo research” on Trump, i.e., to dig up dirt. The spy contacted the Russians. They told him that Trump, at a Moscow hotel in 2013, had been engaged in ...
US Intel Agencies Try to Strong-Arm Trump into War With Russia

US Intel Agencies Try to Strong-Arm Trump into War With Russia By Mike Whitney January 11, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - "Counterpunch" - Powerful elites are using the credibility of the US Intelligence agencies to demonize Russia and prepare the country for war. This is the real meaning of the “Russia hacking” story which, as yet, has not produced any hard evidence of Russian complicity. Last week’s 25-page report, that was released by the Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, illustrates to what extent intelligence is being “fixed around the policy”. Just as the CIA generated false information related to Weapons of Mass ...
'Cheaters' who merge late are in the right, says AMA

We've all been there — you see an obstruction ahead that will close your lane, forcing you to move into another lane. But that lane is backed up and traffic is moving at a snail's pace. Maybe your own response is to merge immediately into the bottleneck. Then, out of the corner of your eye, you see a vehicle race all the way up the closed lane and pull in front of the first driver who's nice enough to let them in. You curse and swear, furious at the "cheater." But what if the "cheaters" are actually correct in merging just before the lane closure? The Alberta Motor Association says the "zipper merge" — when motorists use both lanes of ...

The U.S. Intelligence Community’s (IC) public report on Russia’s Putin- ordered hacking of the computers of the Democratic National Committee reads like one of those papers that a lazy or doped-up freshman buys from an online research shop and submits in hopes of scoring a C or D. Anyone worth the title of intelligence officer — even a half-assed old bureaucrat like me — could have written a more compelling paper based exclusively on newspaper articles, conjectures, OpEds, and the hysterical fantasies about “the mortal threat” posed by Russia that have been concocted by Senators McCain and Graham, and sung by the one-note, Neocon choir they lead. The IC paper ...
Right-wing people are better looking than those on the left, study claims

Research has found that being attractive influences many things in a person's life -- their salary, their popularity and grades in school, even the prison sentences they receive. So why not their politics? A recently published study in the Journal of Public Economics concludes that the attractiveness of a candidate does correlate with their politics. They find that politicians on the right are more good looking in Europe, the United States and Australia. The study shows correlation, not causation, but the researchers float a simple economic explanation for why this might happen. Numerous studies have shown that good-looking people are likely to earn more, and that people who earn more ...
The 24th Christian nation will join NATO today

In the latest news, the US Senate will vote on Montenegro joining NATO today, completing the picture of the 24 Christian nations that will rule the earth for the next 1000 years. So I missed my original prediction (that it would happen in 2016) by 11 days. But actually I did not miss it because I always qualify my predictions by saying I am sometimes a year or two ahead of God's timetable. And when I do miss the year, it is usually by just a few days or a few weeks. The next thing that must happen is, the NATO nations that are "not wearing a wedding garment" will be kicked out (i.e, the 3 non-Christian nations). I did not put that in my 2017 predictions, but I maybe should ...

US Deep State in Deep Trouble By Finian Cunningham January 08, 2017 "Information Clearing House" - "Sputnik" - US ruling power is in deep trouble because there are growing signs that the mass of citizens are no longer beholden to the supposed authority residing in Washington. Once the legitimacy of would-be authorities begins to collapse in the eyes of the people, then profound political change is in the offing, as history shows us through countless empires that came and went – often ignominiously. The so-called American Deep State comprising the military-intelligence apparatus and its operatives in the political and media establishment has put its credibility ...

Alibaba executive chairman Jack Ma is meeting with U.S. president-elect Donald Trump on Monday to discuss plans to create one million new U.S. jobs over the next five years. The Monday meeting will focus on the Chinese e-commerce company's U.S. expansion plans, according to spokespeople for both Alibaba and Trump. The meeting comes amid tensions between China and the incoming Trump administration. Trump has proposed steep tariffs on trade with China, and has incited political controversy over the U.S. relationship with Taiwan. But Trump has also been critical of Alibaba rival Amazon, who like Alibaba, offers cloud services and a marketplace for third-party sellers. This story is ...

Pat Buchanan: Is Liberal Democracy an Endangered Species?

“As we begin 2017, the most urgent threat to liberal democracy is not autocracy,” writes William Galston of The Wall Street Journal, “it is illiberal democracy.” Galston’s diagnosis is not wrong, and his alarm is not misplaced. Yet why does America’s great export, liberal democracy, which appeared to be the future of the West if not of mankind at the Cold War’s end, now appear to be a church with a shrinking congregation? Why is liberal democracy losing its appeal? A front-page story about France’s presidential election, in the same day’s Journal, suggests an answer. In the final round next May, the French election is likely to come down to ...
FBI DidnÂ’t Examine DNC Servers Russia Wrongfully Accused of Hacking

Accusing Russia of US election hacking is a malicious Big Lie. It’s a clear attempt to delegitimize Trump’s election. It aims undermine him before taking office, along with provocatively pushing for confrontation between the world’s dominant nuclear powers – utter madness, but that’s the mindset of neocon lunatics infesting Washington, forces Trump will have to deal with after taking office. It’s up for grabs whether he’s strong-willed enough to go his own way or intends serving America’s deep state exclusively, wanting uninterrupted continuity – dirty business as usual across the board, especially geopolitically. It takes a giant leap of faith ...
'Snack-dealing' schoolboy given suspension... and a scholarship

Selling snacks at school and pocketing the profits - is it illegal dealing or an impressive flair for business? At one school in Italy, it's unclear. A schoolboy from Turin made national headlines after he was caught selling food and drinks to his peers at cheaper prices than the school cafeteria. The 17-year-old has received both praise and punishment for the scheme. He started taking orders for snacks and fizzy drinks - which he bought at a local discount store - last year, and received a ten-day suspension when he was caught by a teacher.Around 500 students gathered outside the school on Wednesday, the day the boy was due to receive his award, with banners proclaiming ...

FLAT ROCK, Mich./WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co (F.N) said Tuesday it will cancel a planned $1.6 billion factory in Mexico and will invest $700 million at a Michigan factory, after President-elect Donald Trump had harshly criticized the Mexico investment plan. The second largest U.S. automaker said it would build new electric, hybrid and autonomous vehicles at the Flat Rock, Michigan plant. Ford Chief Executive Mark Fields said the decision to cancel the new Mexico factory was in part related to the need to "fully utilize capacity at existing facilities" amid declining sales of small and medium sized cars such as the Focus and Fusion. Fields also endorsed "pro ...

In retaliation for the hacking of John Podesta and the DNC, Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats and ordered closure of their country houses on Long Island and Maryland’s Eastern shore. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that 35 U.S. diplomats would be expelled. But Vladimir Putin stepped in, declined to retaliate at all, and invited the U.S. diplomats in Moscow and their children to the Christmas and New Year’s party at the Kremlin. “A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger,” reads Proverbs 15:1. “Great move,” tweeted President-elect Trump, “I always knew he was very smart!” Among our Russophobes, one can almost ...

It's not an illegal settlement in the Gaza Strip, it's a colonia in Texas. When Christmas and New Year’s both fall on a weekend, that week in between is the silliest of all silly seasons in the Western world. Unless there’s a natural disaster, or some non-Western lunatic tries to start a war, nothing happens. So I’m going to write at length about the one newsy thing that did happen this week: the fuss over the U.S.A. not using its veto in the U.N. Security Council to take down a resolution critical of Israel. I don’t think it’s half as important as it looks. To judge from my email bag and donation logs, I have a surprising number of readers in Israel. I ...
