Israel should not be constrained by international borders or laws if it feels under threat, and can always rely on US support, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said following his meeting with the Israeli PM and the chief of Mossad.

The US administration has always been "very clear" that it gives Israel a free rein in hunting down any purported sprouts of 'Iranian threat' in the region, using national security as an ultimate excuse, Pompeo said in an interview with Jerusalem Post.

Indian PM Modi warns Pakistan he's serious about using 100% of Indian river water

hydropower project Chenab river India & Pakistan

Indian PM Narendra Modi has warned Pakistan he means what he said about not wasting a single drop of 'Indian water', after Islamabad stated that any attempt to divert rivers would be viewed as an 'act of aggression.'

"Once I decide to do something, I always accomplish that," the PM told an election rally on Friday, slamming the opposition party for allowing a portion of India's river water to leave the country.

The water over which Haryana's farmers have the right will not flow to Pakistan now.

However, Pakistani Foreign Minister Muhammad Faisal had accused India of not just planning to utilize its water share to the max, but plotting to actually divert the rivers, and framed the PM's words as "another glaring example of the fact that the present government of India is bent upon making India an irresponsible and aggressive state that has no regard for human rights or international obligations." He stated that Pakistan has "exclusive rights" over three western rivers under the Indus Water Treaty.

Why are Establishment Elites so Obsessively Anti-meat?

Ruling oligarchies have always tried to restrict meat consumption by the "peasant class" whenever possible.

I don't know how many people have noticed this, but in the past three months it has been impossible for a person to throw a beef burger patty in any direction on the compass without hitting a news article on the "destructive effects" of the meat industry in terms of "climate change". There's also been endless mainstream articles on the supposedly vast health benefits of a vegetarian or vegan diet. This narrative has culminated in a tidal wave of stories about vegetable-based meat companies like Beyond Meat and their rise to stock market stardom. The word on the street is, meat based diets are going the way of the Dodo, and soon, by environmental necessity, we will ALL be vegetarians.

For at least the past ten years the United Nations has been aggressively promoting the concept of a meat free world, based on claims that accelerated land use and greenhouse gas emissions are killing the Earth. In the west, militant leftists with dreams of a socialist Utopia have adopted a kind of manifesto in the Green New Deal, and an integral part of their agenda is the end to the availability of meat to the common man (it's interesting the Green New Deal agenda matches almost perfectly with the UN's Agenda 21 and Agenda 2030). Some of these elitists have argued in favor of heavy taxation on meat products to reduce public consumption; others have argued for an outright ban.

The problem with this dietary revolution is that it is based primarily on junk science and cherry-picked data, along with outright lies and propaganda. The majority of studies and articles covering this issue are decidedly biased, left leaning and collectivist in nature. Now, I plan to touch on this issue, but what I really want to focus on is the "WHY" of the matter - Why are the elites targeting human meat consumption, and why are they willing to lie about its effects in order to get us to abandon our burgers and steaks? What is the real agenda here...?

'Russians will have a fight on their hands!': Alaska governor vows to thwart 'independence referendum & annexation' in prank call

Grizzly bears search for migrating salmon to help fatten up for the winter hibernation in Katmai National Park, Alaska, US (soon Russia?)

Governor Mike Dunleavy said he was aware of Moscow's plan to stage an independence referendum to reclaim Alaska, and promised to arrange a gold nugget for the visiting Ukrainian leader, in a phone call with Russian pranksters.

The governor seemed honored to receive such a 'high-profile' call from none other than Ukrainian prime minister and the country's ambassador to the US. Unsurprisingly, the key topic of the conversation was the omnipresent 'Russian threat.'

The two pranksters informed Dunleavy of a sinister plan, masterminded by the Kremlin, to reclaim Alaska. They explained that Moscow believes it had only temporary rented Alaska to the US back in 1876, and now - especially since the state has a maritime border with Russia, while being separated from the rest of the American territory by Canada - wants its land back.

Democratic takeover? Tulsi Gabbard supported by candidates Yang and Williamson as Killary backs out of event Tulsi will be headlining

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has received support from two of her opponents in the Democratic presidential primary after Hillary Clinton accused her of being a 'Russian asset.'

Marianne Williamson and Andrew Yang were the only two out of the Democratic field to take Gabbard's side in the growing feud, as the rest of the candidates remained silent on Clinton's accusations.

'Tulsi Gabbard deserves much more respect and thanks than this. She literally just got back from serving our country abroad,' Yang wrote in a tweet, referring to combat veteran Gabbard's continued service as a Major in the Army reserve.

Williamson, an author who did not make the party's cut for the most recent debate, chimed in: 'The Democratic establishment has got to stop smearing women it finds inconvenient!'

'The character assassination of women who don't toe the party line will backfire,' she continued, telling Gabbard, 'You deserve respect and you have mine.'

German MP threatened after denouncing Ukraine's Mirotvorets hit-list site

I am on Mirotvorets -- a badge of honor

Andrei Hunko, deputy in the German Bundestag with Ukrainian roots, and deputy chairman of the United European Left Faction in the PACE, has insisted on closing the scandalous Peacekeeper website. The deputy recounted his personal letter to Ukrainian President Zelensky on his own website:

"Last week, in a personal letter, I called upon the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky. In my appeal, I clearly identified topics such as political repression in Ukraine and the criminal website Peacekeeper, and attached a list of political prisoners and political prisoners. These are two big problems that the new president received as a heavy legacy from his predecessor. If he does not solve them, he will not succeed in transforming Ukraine into a democratic state," Hunko wrote.

He argues that Zelensky should stop political repression and close the controversial Peacekeeper.

Comment: Any hopes of change with Zelensky in power are, as of right now, looking shaky, with residents of the DPR reporting that under his leadership daily shelling has gotten worse, as reported in Eva Bartlett's newest article Under fire from a Western-backed Ukraine: The people of the DPR share their stories.

Here's where Washington's focus will shift to after Syria

Much to Washington's dismay, China is gaining further momentum in the Indo-Pacific region. As the US president pretends to deploy a hands-off approach to the Middle East, expect China's gains to fare in the news more often.

The reason the US might be (at least, on the face of it) caring less about the Middle East and the situation in Syria is that Washington has a new priority theater it is allocating its time and resources to focus on: the Indo Pacific. In that vein, you may start to notice that China and its relationship to the Pacific region is starting to make headlines again.

The latest outcry appears to be another kink in a longer chain regarding Beijing's actions in the Pacific and the wider question of the future of Taiwan. According to reports, China has agreed to fund a multi-million-dollar stadium in the Solomon Islands for the 2023 Pacific Games in its capital, Honiara. Unfortunately, Taiwan had previously made a commitment to providing the funds for the sports complex, but that has all but fallen through. Just recently, the Solomon Islands cut ties with Taiwan in exchange for funding from Beijing ($730 million according to some reports). Kiribati followed suit shortly after, leaving Taiwan with just 15 full diplomatic allies. One would have to think that, given Beijing's mounting influence and the sorts of packages being offered, that perhaps Tuvalu and the other remaining three Pacific states would not be far behind.

Epstein disappears from view, but what about the Mossad?

I have long argued that pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was clearly an intelligence agent and that he was most likely working for the Israeli external service Mossad. My belief was based on the nature of his activity, which suggested that he was able to blackmail important Americans using the sex tapes that he had been able to make at his Manhattan mansion. Put that together with the existence of his fake Austrian passport, as well as former Miami federal attorney Alexander Acosta's comments and it would seem that an intelligence connection is a sine qua non.

Acosta was particularly damning. When asked "Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?" he replied "...that I had just one meeting on the Epstein case." He'd cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein's attorneys because he had "been told to back off," that Epstein was above his pay grade. "I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone."

Trump campaign threatens to sue CNN for series of 'unfair, unfounded, unethical, unlawful' attacks on the president

President Donald Trump's disdain for CNN is well documented. However, a series of undercover interviews with network employees who spilled the beans on bias in the newsroom has Trump's attorneys threatening legal action.

"Fake," "Phony," and "dead as a doornail" are just a small selection of the often-colorful words used by Trump to describe CNN and its overwhelmingly negative coverage of his presidency. However, Trump's re-election campaign has taken the next step and threatened to sue the network for its apparent bias, according to a letter sent to network president Jeff Zucker and general counsel David Vigilante.

The letter, from attorney Charles Harder, demands that CNN make "a substantial payment of damages" to the Trump campaign and take other "appropriate measures" to compensate the president's team. CNN, the letter claims, has broken the law by presenting its hosts to the public as "journalists," and violated the Society of Professional Journalists' code of ethics.

Purpose of US-brokered ceasefire revealed? EU govts want to REPATRIATE ISIS terrorists from northeastern Syria

Martin Chulov & Michael Safi

Believe it or not, this one is NOT fake news

Belgium and other European states are preparing to evacuate citizens accused of having links to Islamic State from detention camps in north-eastern Syria through a newly declared safe zone being carved out by Turkish forces along the border.

Comment: So, that's why they wanted a ceasefire; to save ISIS, not 'the Kurds'. No doubt these are the fighters Belgium trained in its forests earlier this decade before sending them to topple Assad.

Belgian officials informed family members of detainees held in two camps on Friday that they would attempt to take advantage of a five-day ceasefire to retrieve nationals allegedly tied to the terror group. The Guardian has learned that other European states, including France and Germany, are also looking at ways to take advantage of the window declared by US vice-president Mike Pence on Thursday to repatriate women and children.

Whether Britain is willing to re-examine its policy of largely ignoring its 30 or so nationals detained in Syria remains unclear, but the decision by allies to move quickly is likely to increase pressure on Whitehall to do the same. What to do with accused ISIS fighters and their families has been a pressing global security concern in the wake of Donald Trump's decision to suddenly withdraw all US forces from Syria, with fears that an ensuing vacuum could lead to a collapse of security at the four main camps.

Comment: The French minister is right. It really is a no-brainer. Yet his and other EU govts are planning to repatriate what remains of ISIS. Will they get extra benefits like Sweden did for its ISIS terrorists?

Seriously? Sweden wants to welcome terrorists home from Syria with free driver's license, housing & tax perks
