Puppet Masters
There is a lot more to this and other groups, each numbering thousands of people, in their efforts to enter the United States. In a sense the entire battle between "one-world globalism" and "national sovereignty" can be found in the character, actions and the very nature and driving philosophy that has energized these groups of people. This video clip by independent journalist Ami Horowitz is extremely telling.

Pope Francis leads a special audience with members of a volunteers association from Sardinia island in the Paul VI Hall at the Vatican November 30, 2018.
Pope Francis leads a special audience with members of a volunteers association from Sardinia island in the Paul VI Hall at the Vatican November 30, 2018.
While he has previously spoken of the need for better screening of candidates for the religious life, his comments suggesting that priests who cannot keep their vows of celibacy should leave are some of his clearest to date.
Francis made the comments in a book-length interview with Spanish priest Fernando Prado called "The Strength of Vocation", in which he discusses the challenges of being a priest or nun today.
Comment: Realistically, if someone takes a vow of chastity, and are able to keep it, there shouldn't really be an issue with their sexuality (pedophilia aside, of course), since they're not acting on it. However, the problems within the Catholic Church with pedophilia and general sexual deviancy shows that many priests are not only unable to prevent themselves from acting on it, but succumb to levels of perversion rare even in general society. Whether its something about the church that leads to this degeneracy, or the church itself attracts these twisted individuals is, at this point, unknown.

Shortly before an international congress is scheduled to take place in Marrakech, Morocco on 10 and 11 December, Graaff warned EU citizens that there countries are set in to sign a joint agreement on criminalising hate speech against migrants considering migration as a human right.
In the video, Graaff says that EU countries are set in to sign this legal framework which obligates signing countries to build new legislation on hate speech definition to include criticizing migrants.
Comment: They're not even hiding any pretense of upholding any sort of freedom of speech. Don't like the pathological immigration policy of your government? Say anything about it and you'll go to jail. This is truly astonishing! At this point, how can the EU actually pretend to be anything but a fascist state?

"The era of the fourth industrial revolution calls for a fourth generation of espionage," Alex Younger will say at St. Andrews University on Monday.
If you want to make a difference and you think you might have what it takes...we hope you will step forward.To lure young Brits into the spy agency who otherwise might not have seen themselves in MI6, Younger paints an image of a clever arch nemesis - Russia - which can only be stopped with the help of brilliant young minds from all sorts of backgrounds, not just by the snobbish Oxbridge graduates typically associated with the service.
Comment: So what's behind all the anti-Russian propaganda?
"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."And so, considering the terminal decline the UK (and most of the Western powers) are undergoing, the enemy 'out there' - whether it be Russia or diesel cars - is needed to justify the failing governments continued existence, to rally the 'troops', and to redirect the anger they're feeling for their deteriorating quality of life onto the establishments chosen strawman. Except that life is becoming so unbearable that the people are beginning to question the governments narrative:

Vesti News released a new video showing the preparations the already besieged Donbass region in Ukraine is making for Poroshenko and the NATO embedded forces trying to take the area.
Russia One's evening broadcast indicated that the Russian borders are strongly fortified and ready to face anything Ukraine might throw at it.
The concern here is for a Ukrainian, not a Russian, provocation. This follows from the information in the Kerch Strait incident last Sunday, which detailed that Ukrainian counterintelligence agents directed the sailors on board the Ukrainian ships to not follow proper notification and navigation procedures with regard to the Russian authorities as they entered waters mutually controlled by both Russia and Ukraine.
Comment: Ukraine is so confident in defying peace agreements and antagonising Russia because, for now at least, it thinks it has the full support of the West:
- Here's Why Everything You've Read About Ukraine is Wrong!
- Ukrainian forces shell Donbass residential areas with heavy artillery
- What now for the Donbass after Zakharchenko's Death?
- Religious procession for peace in Donbass has drawn the attention of Ukraine's neo-Nazis
- With NATO's help Ukraine continues its military assault on Donetsk Peoples Republic
This week on NewsReal, Joe & Niall discuss the violent stand-off between elites and working people in France, the 'Ukrainian' Navy's provocation near Russia's new Crimean Bridge, the latest lunacy from the legacy media regarding the Russiagate affair, and some of the antics at this year's G20 Summit.

The British Army has issued a top-level security alert to all its bases across the UK, warning soldiers that they should by no means engage in any conversations with a certain Russian journalist, should one happen to approach near any military facility. The "official-sensitive" document obtained by the Daily Mail also advised members of the military to call the nearest police department "ASAP" to deal with such a "threat."
Actually referred-to as a 'spy' in the British media, it was in fact the UK Bureau chief of Russian Channel 1 who had been making the report about the 77th Brigade base in November. Timur Siraziev and his cameraman were seen filming near the Berkshire facility where they had presented press credentials. Their access was denied, so they filmed their report outside and left.

Think of an acquaintance of yours. Not someone you're particularly close to, just some guy in the cast of extras from the scenery of your life. Now, imagine learning that that guy is a serial murderer, who has been prowling the streets for years stabbing people to death. Imagine he goes his whole life without ever suffering any consequences for murdering all those people, and then when he dies, everyone wants to talk about how great he was and share heartwarming anecdotes about him. If you try to bring up the whole serial killing thing, people react with sputtering outrage that you would dare to speak ill of such a noble and wonderful person.
"Look, I didn't agree with everything he did, but you can't just let one not-so-great thing from a man's life eclipse all the other good things he's accomplished," they protest. "For example, did you know he was a baseball captain at Yale?"
"But... what about all those people he murdered?" you reply.
"God, why can't you just pay respect to a great man in our time of mourning??" they shout in exasperation.

Journalists wait for US President Barack Obama to start his annual year-end news conference in 2016.
Journalists wait for US President Barack Obama to start his annual year-end news conference in 2016.
Media outlets have become increasingly partisan in the US, pandering to prejudices and biases of their audiences. The phenomenon of a media bubble - when a person can select its information sources to completely shut off undesirable opinions - may have originated online, but now traditional media are eager to serve the same purpose, as long as it benefits their ratings.
Watch a report by RT's Caleb Maupin on how the US fell into the divisive split over what reality is.
