Puppet Masters
Make no mistake about it, "THE MEDIA IS THE ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!"
The Mainstream Media (MSM) has never been so up in arms and conspicuously enraged about anything as they are about this self-evident truth. They all know - every single journalist - that they cannot report the truth about anything. Factual reporting has been banished from the MSM; once that happened the press inevitably became "the enemy of the people". And every journalist knows in their bones that this is absolutely true.
President Trump's Greatest Achievement to Date
If Donald Trump were to leave office today, there's no question that his single greatest achievement would be the launching of the "fake news" meme. His nonstop warnings have become the clarion call to patriots and nationalists around the globe. Not only that, but Trump recently went one step further and dropped this truth bomb. BOMBSHELL: Trump Finally Tells The Forbidden Truth

Russian President Putin and US President Trump meet in Helsinki, Finland, on July 16, 2018
It takes Trump just under a minute to state something that only needs spelling out in the craziness that is the current American politics: World leaders talk to each other. It's called diplomacy.
Maria Butina has been experiencing health problems in jail, yet she has been deprived of proper treatement, her lawyer, Robert Driscoll told RT. Maria has a "history of problems" with one of her legs and bad prison conditions triggered swelling of her limb.
"The conditions in prison in which [she was] on the cold side because of very strong air conditioning and also humid and damp, I think that has exacerbated the swelling. And so she sought treatments for that and so far she's just received Tylenol and nothing else," Driscoll sad.
The George Soros Open Dialog Foundation called this an "act of political nature carried out by the Polish authorities in order to stop the activities of the organisation in the country and abroad."
Kozlovska's husband, Mr Bartosz Kramek, Head of the Open Dialog Foundation's Board, who had been calling for various civil disobedience actions in Poland.
Poland sent her packing on Tuesday.
Comment: Excellent move on Poland's part! They join an accelerating trend:
- Soros foundations banned as 'threat to Russian national security'
- 'Stop Operation Soros' movement begins in Macedonia
- Billionaire meddles in the wrong country - Irish revolt at George Soros' interference in election
- Hungary declares George Soros an 'Agent of Satan'
- Nigel Farage calls for Soros' Open Society to be investigated over political collusion and subversion
Dear Mr. Birnbaum,
You write Trump "made no mention of Russia's adventures in Ukraine". Well, neither he nor Putin nor you made any mention of America's adventures in the Ukraine, which resulted in the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014, which led to the justified Russian adventure. Therefore ...?
If Russia overthrew the Mexican government would you blame the US for taking some action in Mexico?

Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro holds a bank note of the new national currency, the 'Bolivar Soberano' (Sovereign Bolivar).
Venezuela has undergone many challenges in the last 20 years since Hugo Chavez was elected president and continued after his death in 2013. The main reason is that Venezuela has taken seriously the internationally recognized right to be sovereign and establish its own social model. Violence has never been part of the model. However, violence has been the reaction of those who do not want to change the status quo despite the people's majority democratic electoral choice.
The new social model chosen by Venezuela has been widely called the Bolivarian Revolution. It is a revolution that is still under construction. In fact, having defused the rampant right-wing violence, and with Nicolas Maduro as the re-elected president as of May 20, Venezuela continues building an unequivocal socialist anti-imperialist society by strengthening its Bolivarian Revolution. It is succeeding socially and politically by retaining considerable popular support, while it's struggling economically because of foreign-induced hyperinflation, crippling sanctions and the U.S.-led financial blockade.

Reuters has recently reported on a so-called "National Army" based in northern Syria that appears poised to confront Syrian efforts to restore peace and security nationwide.
In an article titled, "Syrian rebels build an army with Turkish help, face challenges," Reuters would claim:
A "National Army" being set up by Syrian rebels with Turkey's help could become a long-term obstacle to President Bashar al-Assad's recovery of the northwest...The idea of having NATO military forces on the ground in Syria, providing protection for Western-backed militants in safe-havens has been stated US policy since the beginning of the Syrian conflict.
The National Army compromises some 35,000 fighters from some of the biggest factions in the war that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and forced some 11 million people from their homes over the last seven years.
Assad, backed by Russia and Iran, has vowed to recover "every inch" of Syria, and though he has now won back most of the country, the Turkish presence will complicate any government offensive in the northwest.
Comment: Turkey is a fence-rider, always looking to play one benefactor off the other to its advantage. However, the idea it could be secretly manipulating for the US is not out of the realm of possibility - given Erdogan might be that smart and sneaky. Are the recent US/Turkey hostilities and lira war real manifestations of opposing circumstances and demands, or are they, as well, a ballooned grand cover for a devious scheme as described above?
Long-range bomber training missions "targeting the US" - this is how the US mainstream media reported the findings of the Pentagon's annual assessment of Chinese military capabilities in 2017, published Thursday.
What the 145-page report actually says is that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) air force has "rapidly expanded its overwater bomber operating areas, gaining experience in critical maritime regions and likely training for strikes against US and allied targets."
Comment: One country's 'encroachment' is another country's 'taboo'. The US and China both ascribe to these perceptions of engagement that increase the chances of military escalation.
"He is lucky the security clearance is all he is getting away with," Kris "Tanto" Paronto, a former Army Ranger and private security staffer who fought back during the 2012 Benghazi terror attack as part of the CIA team, told Fox News in an interview on Friday.
Separately, in response to former CIA Director John Brennan's earlier tweet that his "principles are worth far more than clearances," Paronto fired back:
"My principles are greater than clearances too John, especially when you and the @CIA kool-aid drinkers punishes us for not going along with the Benghazi cover-up story in order to protect you, @HillaryClinton's & @BarackObama's failures. You put your politics before us."
Comment: Nice try by intel officials to conflate revoked security clearance with freedom of speech. Who are they kidding!
In a lengthy editorial, Rodong Sinmun, the official newspaper of the North's ruling party, praised US President Donald Trump for seeking to improve relations between Washington and Pyongyang. "However, he faces too many opponents," it said.
According to the paper,
Democrats and even some Republicans are hampering Trump's peace efforts and the media is undermining his policies. Bureaucrats and presidential aides are "speaking and moving in contradiction to the president's will" and are "distorting facts and covering up his eyes and ears in order to mislead him to a wrong decision."The editorial says that the political opponents of the US president are
"raising their voice, dismissing the Singapore joint statement and boycotting a declaration of an end to the war." But what it thinks will end the "current deadlock in the DPRK-US relations" is "President Trump's bold decision."Rodong Sinmun's position shows a U-turn in North Korea's attitude towards Donald Trump - from "hammers of war" in summer 2017 to "Trump's improving ties with Pyongyang" a year later.
Comment: If/when the North Korea-US threat fest is finally over, it won't be because Trump has overwhelming support from Congress or his neocon crew. The credit should be attributed to Trump, Kim and the involvement of other nations eager to see a potentially volatile situation peacefully resolved.
