Several U.S. media outlets have reported on the Ukrainian origins of the Russiagate hoax, including Epoch Times, The Hill and Gateway Pundit. The Epoch Times reported on April 10, 2019, that the charges against ex-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort originated with Ukrainian Representative Serhiy Leshenko and Artem Sytnyk, director of Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU), who revealed documents on kickbacks to Manafort during the Presidency of pro-Russian president Victor Yanukovych.

Serhiy Leshenko (pictured above) presented these 'Black Ledger' documents to the public on March 21, 2017 in the Soros-funded Ukraine Crisis Media Center, linking Manafort to illegal kickbacks totaling $12.7 million and even seeking to blame him for the deaths of protestors on Maidan Square 2014. The Ukrainian "anti-corruption" investigators even went so far as to hack the phones and text messages of Paul Manafort's daughters.

The Ukraine Crisis Media Center was founded in March 2014 by the Ukraine government and George Soros' International Renaissance Foundation to give reporting on the Ukraine conflict the 'correct' spin. Soros has founded media lobby groups all over the world modeled on Media Matters for American, which he founded with John Podesta after the Lewinsky scandal nearly brought down Bill Clinton.

A Georgian-American businessman is accusing special counsel Robert Mueller of publishing "glaring inaccuracies and misrepresentations" about rumors of alleged sex tapes of President Donald Trump during a visit to Moscow in 2013.

In a letter sent to Attorney General William Barr on Tuesday, a lawyer for the businessman, Giorgi Rtskhiladze, called on the Justice Department to retract a footnote in Mueller's report mentioning an Oct. 30, 2016 text message exchange he had with attorney Michael Cohen about a rumored Trump tape.

Rtskhiladze claims that the special counsel's report inaccurately quotes his text message with Cohen. He says that additional text messages not quoted in the report show that he was doubtful about a rumor he had heard from an associate in Moscow about the existence of a tape.

China had to deploy navy ships to escort off a French vessel which "illegally" entered the Taiwan Strait, the country's defense ministry said.

"China's military sent navy ships in accordance with the law to identify the French ship and warn it to leave," defense ministry spokesman Ren Guoqiang said.

The official did not specify the vessel but it was believed to be the frigate Vendemiaire. The French warship passed through the narrow waterway between China and Taiwan on April 6 in a rare move by a vessel of the European country, Reuters reported earlier.

Following the incident, China revoked France's invitation to the parade marking the 70th anniversary of the country's Navy, the agency's sources said.

The French president has fallen victim to infamous Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus, who posed as Ukraine's President-elect Volodymyr Zelensky after his recent landslide victory, a video from the trolling duo claims.

Vladimir 'Vovan' Kuznetsov and Alexei 'Lexus' Stolyarov released a 15-minute recording of the call on Wednesday with a person they claim is Macron - although the identity of the prankee has not been confirmed.

At one point during the call, the supposed Zelensky says he believes it is time for Ukraine to again "build a dialogue with Russia," to which Macron replies this is "absolutely right."

Comment: The latest in a long line of epic exposures by the Russian duo of Vovan and Lexus. They should be getting journalism awards.

Rosneft helps Venezuela evade US sanctions? Reuters amends story as firm vows to get agency banned

Reuters has corrected its piece alleging a shady scheme involving Russian oil giant Rosneft helping Venezuela evade US sanctions. The news agency said it did not determine that any payments actually took place.

The exclusive story was originally published by Reuters on April 18. Based solely on undisclosed "documents and sources," it claimed that Rosneft was receiving oil from the Venezuelan company PDVSA at a discount, paying for it immediately to bypass the regular transaction timeframe, and then receiving the full amount from the final customers while keeping the difference as a reward.

The allegations caused an angry reaction by Rosneft, which dismissed them as "a blatant lie"and "a provocation." The company vowed to address the issue with law enforcement and get the "pseudo-agency" banned in Russia altogether.

It was not immediately clear whether it was the result of Rosneft's outrage, but Reuters ended up heavily altering the story on Tuesday. Apart from added "clarifications" that experts have seen no violation of US sanctions in the alleged scheme, the names of the banks supposedly involved in it have been dropped from the article altogether.

Turkey will look for 'best technology' elsewhere if US blocks F-35 transfer

If Turkey can't buy F-35 fighter jets from the US, it will look for a substitute elsewhere, the Turkish foreign minister said. The US threatened to boot Ankara from the program over its S-400 deal with Russia.

Speaking to media after a reception at the Turkish Grand National Assembly on Tuesday, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that his country might consider other options if Washington follows through with its threats and leave it without F-35 stealth fighter jets.

"We are already partners in the F-35 manufacturing program, we participate in this project, we have paid the necessary amount," Cavusoglu said.

"There are currently no problems with this. But in the worst case scenario, we will have to satisfy our need in another place, where the best technologies will be offered," he added.

Trump's Iran decision could kill the OPEC+ deal

Trump's decision to let Iran waivers expire could kill off the OPEC+ deal while dealing a serious blow to the coalition's ability to coordinate production cuts.

The Wall Street Journalreported that the Trump administration's decision to let waivers expire "surprised buyers and others who had been told by State Department officials in recent weeks to expect a renewal of exceptions."

The White House said that Saudi Arabia and the UAE have agreed to offset lost barrels from Iran, although Saudi Arabia was more measured in its response, saying only that it would add supply if needed. In theory, Saudi Arabia could add a few hundred thousand barrels per day above current levels and still keep output below its ceiling as part of the OPEC+ deal, but that may not be enough to compensate for outages in Iran, which could be significant. After all, the whole point of the U.S. campaign is to take Iranian oil exports to zero, down from roughly 1.3 mb/d in March.

Russia fast tracks citizenship for residents feeling war in Ukraine's rebel regions

Russia's decision to facilitate getting Russian passports for residents of Ukraine's breakaway regions has caused an angry reaction in Kiev, which condemned the "aggression" and even filed a complaint with the UN Security Council.

The decree, implementing a simplified three-month period to get Russian citizenship for residents of the rebel-controlled areas of the Lugansk and Donetsk regions was signed by Russia's President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday. While Putin explained the move was solely humanitarian and designed to ease up the hardships of people trapped in the civil conflict in the east of Ukraine, the decision caused a meltdown in Kiev.

Ukraine's outgoing president, Petro Poroshenko, who's been telling the public and the West, that his country has been battling "Russian aggression" for years already, said Putin's move was actual proof of it. Moreover, Moscow is plotting to get to a whole new level in its "aggression," he claimed.

Jordan Peterson: Are all Democrats socialist? Don't believe the hype

Pragmatists like Pelosi, not radicals like Omar and Ocasio-Cortez, are the party's real leaders.

To judge by Twitter and cable news, the Democratic Party has become a raging leftist cult of socialists hell-bent on transforming the U.S. into Venezuela. But what if that's wrong and the media are wildly misrepresenting the party, which remains quite moderate?

The reasons are simple. Right-leaning media like to lavish the lion's share of coverage on the radicals of the Democratic Party - to paint the entirety of their opposition as out-of-step cry-bully socialists. But the left-leaning media bear responsibility as well. The same journalists who decry "alternative facts" seize on every Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or Ilhan Omar tidbit with Gollum-like zeal.

Yet it's not clear that the social-media warriors they've elevated to pop-star status are the least bit representative of the party. As Rep. Dean Phillips of Minnesota told Politico: "Suddenly an entire party is being branded by the perspectives of two of its members, who represent 1% of the caucus." The rest of the Democratic freshmen are less visible not only due to clickbait bias but because they are busy creating legislation or holding town halls in their districts - that is, doing their jobs.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's wife sara

In an interview with the Gulf today, Reema bint Bandar, a Saudi Arabian princess and the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the United States claimed that King Salman had done something unexpected to impose political control four years ago.

It is believed that these things included the expansion of relations with European countries and politicians of the United States of America to protect King Salman from his relatives and keep him in power. Also Reema bint Bandar claims that King of Saudi Arabia gave precious jewels worth $ 10 million to Sara Netanyahu as gift.

Rima concluded that, for protection, King Salman offered precious jewels worth $ 10 million and a small yacht in the Red Sea as a gift to Sarah Netanyahu.

Comment: What is clear is that Israel's relationship with Saudi Arabia is on much better terms than its relations with many other countries in the Middle East:

And that the Netenyahu's are dogged by claims of corruption and fraud:

We must believe lies as truth or face the consequences. I am not sure if I can assimilate into the Brave New World.
