The tech giants continued their war on conservative and alternative voices today

The Republican Party and conservative leaders are AWOL on this issue as the tech giants continue to ban, de-platform and demonetize conservative voices.

Conservative activist Laura Loomer was already banned from Twitter months ago. This was after Laura attacked Rep. Ilhan Omar on her own record and beliefs.

A CAIR activist was reportedly behind the silencing of Laura Loomer.

Venezuela's Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino Lopez attends a news conference in Caracas, Venezuela, February 19, 2018.

Venezuela on Tuesday shut the maritime border with nearby Dutch Caribbean islands ahead of an opposition effort to bring in humanitarian aid from foreign territories including neighbouring Curacao despite the protests of President Nicolas Maduro.

Maduro has rejected offers of foreign aid, denying there are widespread shortages and insisting that the country's economic problems are the result of sanctions by Washington.

Opposition leader Juan Guaido, who has been recognised by dozens countries as the legitimate head of state, has said that food and medicine provided in part by the United States will enter Venezuela by land and sea on Saturday.

The closure blocks movement of boats and aircraft between the western Venezuelan coastal state of Falcon and the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao, said Vice Admiral Vladimir Quintero, who heads a military unit in Falcon. He did not provide a reason.

Venezuela's Information Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Russia's reserves fully cover nation's internal & foreign debt for 1st time ever - Putin

Russia's foreign exchange reserves can now cover all of the debt owed by both the government and domestic businesses, Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced.

"For the first time in history our reserves fully cover foreign debt, including government and commercial sector debt," Putin said addressing the Federal Assembly in Moscow on Wednesday.

The country's external debt amounts to $453.7 billion, while its international reserve funds stand at $475 billion as of February 8, 2019, according to infographics presented by the president.

5 years later, justice for Maidan victims still 'not even in sight' - Amnesty International

Tue, 19 Feb 2019 17:48 UTC

Amnesty International says the Ukrainian criminal justice system has "resisted and obstructed justice" when dealing with the human rights violations committed by police during the Euromaidan protests five years ago.

Colm O Cuanachain, senior director at the office of the London-based group's secretary-general, made the comment on February 19, which marked the fifth anniversary of the protest movement's worst day of violence.

"Five years is a long time to wait when it comes to justice, and for most victims who suffered at the hands of Ukrainian police, justice is still not even in sight," he said during a trip to Kyiv.

Comment: Colm, what about those who suffered at the hands of the Right Sector snipers? Is justice in sight for them?

In February 2014, Moscow-friendly President Viktor Yanukovych was pushed from power following months of massive protests known as the Euromaidan and fled to Russia.

More than 100 people were killed and 2,500 injured in clashes with security forces, some of them shot dead by snipers.

Comment: Being a U.S.-government-funded outlet, RFE/RL neglects to mention the fact that the snipers were members of the neofascist Right Sector extremist group.

The death toll included at least 13 police officers, according to Ukrainian authorities.

Comment: For an objective analysis of the sniper massacre of February 20, 2014, and all other significant escalations in the Ukraine crisis, see Gordon Hahn's book, Ukraine Over the Edge.

Putin orders Russian brand of 'green' non-GMO produce to be created

Russia's enormous natural resources should serve as a guarantee of high quality food production, according to President Vladimir Putin. The country has ensured its independence on the global wheat market, he added.

"We are not just one of the largest exporters of wheat, last year's exports amounted to 44 million tons. We have reached at least one more achievement," the president said on Wednesday in his annual address to the Federal Assembly.

He explained that "Thanks to Russian scientists, we have ensured our independence in wheat seeds. Experts will confirm how critically important that is."

Comment: And with that, Russia has placed itself to become the pre-eminent food supplier to the world. No one will be willing to buy the chemically-laden, genetically-manipulated stuff the West tries to pass off as food. Putin has understood the relationship between a strong healthy population, and a strong healthy country. It seems a clear proposition, but the West seems to prefer its citizens sick, weak and manipulable. We'll see how well that works out.

Chinese tech a threat? Europe fed up with Washington's 'nonsense' allegations against Huawei

A tablet and smartphones of China's Huawei Technologies Co. are presented at the Telekom Shop in the headquarters of German telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom AG in Bonn, Germany, on February 19, 2019.

Washington is riding another wave of scaremongering by warning the world about the alleged dangers posed by Chinese tech giant Huawei. However, without solid proof, the message seems more like a cover for self-interests.

Senior US officials have been urging the world to be "vigilant" over Chinese tech corporations and their communication grids, threatening to curb partnership with misbehaving allies.

Comment: The US technology dominance has been slipping for decades, both in military and commercial applications. It believes it is capable of bullying the world into accepting inferior products, even to the point of naked law-breaking. Fortunately, China can be patient while its potential customers wake up to reality.

Art of politics: Ukraine seeks to ban Russian WWII film... in US

Kiev has apparently decided to move its war on everything Russian to the movies screens - this time in the US. Ukraine's embassy has urged US cinemas to stop showing a Russian WWII film, calling it "propaganda."

The diplomatic mission "called [on] cinemas to reconsider their intension to show it because the film openly justifies and promotes Moscow's hostile foreign and security policy (including Russian ongoing aggression against Ukraine)," the embassy said in its appeal posted on Facebook.

Pentagon refutes April 1st Syria withdrawal plan as an "arbitrary timeline", contradicting earlier claims

A Pentagon spokesperson did not confirm an Iraqi official's statement that the United States will withdraw its forces from Syria through Iraqi territory by April 1.

Earlier in the day, Chief of Staff and Adviser to Iraqi Prime Minister Abdulkarim Hashim Mostafa told Sputnik that the United States will pull out its forces from Syria through Iraqi territory no later than April 1.

"We are focused on a controlled, orderly withdrawal of US forces from Syria that will not be subject to arbitrary timeline," US Defence Department spokesman Commander Sean Robertson told Sputnik on Tuesday when asked about the Iraqi official's statement.

Comment: Well, it was a curious date for a withdrawal plan, albeit quite fitting: Washington & Baghdad agree withdrawal of troops from Syria via Iraq by 1st April

Former Ford Motor senior executive Stephen Biegun speaks at the State Department in Washington after his appointment as special envoy for North Korea in August 2018.

The U.S. special representative for North Korea is traveling to Hanoi on Tuesday to continue preparations for a second summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to be held next week in Vietnam, the State Department said.

State Department spokesman Robert Palladino told a news briefing he had no details of the meetings Stephen Biegun would have in Hanoi.

Biegun spent three days in North Korea from Feb. 6-8, a trip he said was aimed at agreeing on "concrete deliverables" for the Feb. 27-28 summit. The State Department said after those talks that Biegun agreed to hold further meetings with his counterpart Kim Hyok Chol ahead of the summit.

Biegun said after that trip his talks in North Korea had been "productive" but there was "hard work to do" before the summit.

Comment: The US would be better off leaving the diplomacy to the experts, Russia and China:

Orban's election posters expose Soros and EU mass migration scheme

A top European Union official criticized Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Tuesday for election campaign posters alleging that EU headquarters has purposely weakened the bloc's external borders to let in more migrants.

Commission Vice President Frans Timmermans said when it comes to spinning the truth in political campaigning "this is something in a completely different universe."

Comment: Parallel to the fake news universe Timmermans usually inhabits, perhaps.

The Hungarian government says its new campaign - launched ahead of May's European Parliament election - is meant to inform citizens about "Brussels' plans to encourage immigration."

Comment: Orban is one of the few politicians willing to speak out against Soros' nefarious meddling in world politics, but Hungary isn't the only country where he's meddling:
