As Schiff began speaking, a man and two women held up signs reading,"Don't Impeach." When they were asked to take down the signs, they refused. -LA TimesAround a dozen Trump supporters attended the event to discuss the House's recent recognition of the Armenian Genocide. Scattered throughout the audience, the protesters began yelling "Liar!" at the de facto ringleader of House Democrats' efforts to impeach President Trump.
BOMBSHELL: THE NEW FRENCH CONNECTIONMacron and BlackRock representatives have met several times during his presidency.
Guess who's issuing "recommendations" for Le Petit Roi and his government re: the French pension "reform"?
BlackRock.
How could they not? BlackRock manages $7 TRILLION. It's the number one asset management colossus on the planet, and a member of the Masters of the Universe.
When they see those immense French savings - one of the largest if not the largest pool in Europe - how not to salivate like mad dogs (no offense to dogs)?
So much for Western liberal "democracy". It's all about FINANCIAL MONOPOLIES.

Watch Giuliani's interview with OANN's Chanel Rion:
"Neither America nor Russia were able to clear the region from the YPG, although the promises made to us were about that. Since they have not succeeded, it is up to us now. We will do what needs to be done then. The local tribes are asking us for help."The Turkish president stated on Saturday that Turkish forces won't leave Syrian territory until the people of the country ask Ankara to withdraw.
The process of rebuilding war-ravaged Syria has already started but Damascus needs more investment in order to scale it up, according to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
"Now, with the liberation of most areas, we have started discussions with a number of Chinese companies experienced in reconstruction. The most important stage and the greatest challenge is the full restoration of the economic cycle. We would hope that Chinese companies will start looking and studying the Syrian market, which is improving quickly and constantly in terms of security."
According to the Syrian leader, it is "essential" to start discussing investment opportunities, because "it is well known that rebuilding countries destroyed partially or totally by war is very profitable and has high returns on investment."
The process is not limited to loans or providing aid without any returns, it is "a profitable investment in every sense of the word," he said. The sides are discussing ways for Chinese firms to avoid sanctions and have access to the Syrian market, Assad said.
As of Saturday afternoon, it was still unclear if Van Drew would make the announcement before the House votes on impeachment, which is expected Wednesday.
"It was supposed to be bipartisan, it was supposed to be incontrovertible. It was supposed to be something that was always on the rarest of circumstances," Van Drew told reporters about impeachment earlier this week. "Well it's not bipartisan."
Republicans were excitedly touting the news on Saturday, describing it as a huge blow to Democrats' effort to impeach the president, which Trump and other GOP leaders have repeatedly decried as a "partisan witch hunt." The move is also certain to score major points with Trump, whose support could be crucial in a crowded GOP primary. Trump and Van Drew are expected to hold an event together next week, according to sources on Capitol Hill.
But Democrats were already brushing off the party switch, saying Van Drew was making the calculation purely based on politics and voters would see right through his self-interested motivations in November 2020.
And Democrats are quick to note that Van Drew's departure is unlikely to impact the impeachment vote tally in any way. Democratic leadership had already been expecting a handful of their members to vote against impeachment, including Van Drew, next week.
Comment: A question British leftists might want to ask themselves at this juncture is: would the union have fallen apart sooner if not for their movement keeping it 'glued together' all this time?
Would the British empire and its "juggernaut of exploitation, subjugation and oppression" thus have ended far sooner? Would the UK be today's 'Air Strip One' of the American Empire?
Leading British leftist thinker George Galloway, a Scotsman, articulates the rationale of the British Labour movement very well. He is strongly opposed to Scottish independence because it would "abandon the English working class to the ['right-wing', pseudo-nationalist] Tories."
But is class really a more 'reality-based' basis for group identity than nation? As we've seen in recent years - and decades, if we go back to the fall of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact - more and more peoples are going with 'no, it is not', thereby abandoning many of the Marxist beliefs that took hold in the 20th century.
Let's put it this way; which is the more 'illusory': class, or nation?
If the UK too is 'moving to the right', then its disintegration into the constituent nations that comprise it seems the logical outcome.
