Corriere Della Sera reports:
Salvini: «If I am in charge, it's away with the sanctions against Russia» The leader of the League responds via Twitter to the appeal launched by the president of Confindustria Russia: "They are causing incalculable damage to the Italian economy"
The appeal was launched by the president of Confindustria, in an interview with Libero. Ernesto Ferlenghi turns directly to Matteo Salvini to demand that sanctions against Moscow be eliminated. «Italian companies can not continue to lose tens of billions for potential orders and market shares, adopting a system of economic sanctions that is putting a strategic partnership between us and Russia in crisis, a partnership which has lasted for over 60 years», he says The League leader replies, promising on Twitter: "I hope to be able soon, from the government, to welcome the appeal: Away with these absurd sanctions that are causing incalculable damage to the Italian economy".

Comment: After the early March elections, Italy still has a hung parliament, so Salvini's leadership isn't guaranteed. Statements like the above are sure to gain him even more popular support, but they're just as sure to make him that much more hated by the Italian and EU establishment.

United States blocks UN from investigating Israel's violent crackdown in Gaza Strip

Israel's violent crackdown on Land Day protests in the Gaza Strip left at least 15 dead, and large numbers of people wounded. There are a lot of expressions of concern, but one thing there won't be is an investigation, by anyone.

A resolution in the UN Security Council sought to call for such an inquiry, and also issuing a statement of support for the right to peaceful protest. The US, however, quickly vetoed the bill. This is unsurprising, as the US generally vetoes anything that has anything to do with Israel. US officials have so far reused to comment, because clearly vetoing a call to respect human rights, and not kill peaceful protesters, is something of an embarrassment.

Macroeconomic analyst: Global gold supplies tighten but the money for hyperinflation has been printed

hyperinflation
Forensic macroeconomic analyst Rob Kirby says big money knows "gold supplies are tight" and getting tighter by the day. Kirby, who also arranges gold sales by the ton on a global scale, explains, "There are reports of people trying to buy institutional amounts of physical gold bullion in the Asian market, and there is none available even if they are paying a premium. I'm not talking about availability at the coin shop where you would buy two American Gold Eagles or a Gold Panda. I am talking about institutions wanting to buy serious amounts of physical gold bullion in bar form."

Kirby says the global financial system is packed with unpayable debt, and the insiders know many might wake up someday to find they are living in their very own Mad Max movie. Kirby says, "If the financial world is turned on its head, we could very likely see some social unrest. Things could get very, very unpalatable, and we could see a complete breakdown. . . . This leads naturally to the question if the system is this precarious, why hasn't anybody with a whole lot of money done anything to tip it over? The reason is that virtually nobody benefits from a situation where anarchy happens, and there aren't many people who want to be the person that pulls the pin on the grenade."

Lavrov on Skripal: The Cold War had some rules but UK and US have dropped all proprieties

Russia's top diplomat has lashed out at UK and US rhetoric against Moscow over the poisoning of former double agent Sergei Skripal, saying it's worse now than it was during the Cold War.

"There has been a lot of talk that the situation is worse than it was during classic 'Cold War,' because some rules and proprieties were followed then," Sergey Lavrov said on Monday.

He also accused Britain, the US and other Western powers of "dropping all proprieties" and of spreading "blatant lies and disinformation."

Comment: Those who haven't yet seen through the Skripal/anti-Russia propaganda are utterly incapable of valuing and appreciating the statesmanship, integrity and insight that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov has brought to the world stage. Their loss.

Kremlin: Trump has invited Putin to White House summit

Putin Trump
Two weeks after President Trump congratulated Russian President Vladimir Putin on his latest electoral triumph (defying his national security staff in the process), Agence France Presse and Bloomberg reported Monday that the president has invited Putin to a summit at the White House.

The Kremlin made the announcement just days after Russia decided to expel 60 US diplomats and close a US consulate in St. Petersburg in a tit-for-tat retaliation for US expulsions.
AFP via the Kremlin: President Trump has proposed White House summit to Putin

- Michael Del Moro (@MikeDelMoro) April 2, 2018
The White House hasn't said anything about plans for a summit. President Trump left things vague when he first raised the possibility of a formal meeting between the two leaders - a declaration that outraged Trump's critics. Such a meeting will only serve to embarrass and infuriate Special Counsel Robert Mueller, particularly now that the "Russia" branch of his Russia probe has seemingly resulted in a dead end.

Comment: Though half of Washington will go bat-s*** hysterical over the prospect of such a meeting, Trump meeting Putin at this time speaks volumes about Trump's common sense and sheer guts. He is clearly bucking the West's war-mongering orthodoxy by asserting his power and common sense - when the world most needs it.

Preparations for World War between the US and Russia - And Israel's hand in it

The US and Russia are drifting ever-more-rapidly into World War III - it's essentially the same way England and Germany drifted into WWI: being sucked in by their entangling web of foreign alliances.

The anti-neoconservative Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who had been the chief aide to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell and had opposed America's invading Iraq, spoke on March 2nd explaining how the U.S. and Russia are drifting ever-more-rapidly into World War III. He said it's essentially the same way that England and Germany drifted into WWI: being sucked in by their entangling web of foreign alliances.

However, as he sees it, the role that Sarajevo played to spark world-war in 1914, is being performed this time by Israel. Instead of the Bosnian Serb Gavrilo Princip igniting the war by assassinating in Sarajevo the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria, Benjamin Netanyahu is igniting this war throughout the Middle East, by escalating his campaign to conquer Shiites in Iran, Syria, and Lebanon - overthrowing and replacing the governments there (which would then become controlled by allies of the anti-Shiite Sunni regime in U.S.-Israel-allied Saudi Arabia), and also aiming ultimately to expand Israel itself, to take over Jordan so as to confirm biblical prophecy.

Comment: All too horribly, we've been seeing numerous articles lately that have been coming to the same or similar conclusions:

SOTT Focus: "Shut Up And Go Away" - A Freudian Slip From The Western Establishment

"Frankly, Russia should go away and should shut up." On the face of it, these words from the UK's Defence Minister, Gavin Williamson - in a formal public statement addressing Russia's response to the British government's astonishing spy-poisoning claims - are just plain rudeness.

But they actually reveal much more than rudeness and lack of civility, which are unbecoming of any civil servant, even if he is the servant of Her Majesty, the Queen of England.

Is Trump beginning to lose Putin's respect?

Trump and Putin on the sidelines of the July 2017 G20 meeting
The unprecedented series of regular expulsions of Russian diplomats that began earlier this week will have very serious repercussions for the US-Russian relationship. Russia's response will involve more than just evicting even more Americans on a reciprocal basis in order to achieve diplomatic parity. There is a far more serious issue at stake, and that has to do with the personal sense of trust between the leaders of the two states.

Donald Trump's decision to join the flash mob of expulsions of Russian diplomats that was set in motion by London was announced on March 26, 2018. At this point, 17 EU countries have already announced their intention to take part in this campaign. Thus they want to express their solidarity with Great Britain - which has become a "victim of Russian aggression" due to the poisoning of the former MI6 agent Sergei Skripal.

Nevertheless, Trump's stance on the matter was not clear. On one hand, he signed a joint statement condemning Russia along with May, Merkel, and Macron on March 15. But on the other, he never even mentioned the Skripal incident during his March 20 telephone call to Vladimir Putin.

Comment: Trump is currently 'bound hand and foot". The Deep State is doing everything it can on every front to see it stays that way.

A 29-member expert group to tackle fake news has been launched in Brussels. Bulgarian EU commissioner Mariya Gabriel said Europe needed a joint approach that must be "carefully thought through."

Gabriel, the EU's digital affairs commissioner, told the group Monday that mechanisms were needed to identify and limit the circulation of false information which was "spreading today at a disturbing rate."

The group, comprising outlets such as Facebook, Sky and RTL, watchdog groups such as Reporters Without Borders, and academics, is due to submit its recommendations to the European Commission by the end of April.
