'Monstrosity': Merkel threatens to cut arms exports to Saudi's until Khashoggi incident cleared up

The killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate is a "monstrosity," German Chancellor Angela Merkel has stated, adding that Berlin will not sell arms to Riyadh while the issue remains unclear.

"It must be cleared up. As long as it's not cleared up, there will be no arms exports to Saudi Arabia. I assure you of that very decidedly," Merkel said during a campaign rally in Ortenberg on Monday.

Her comment reiterates a statement made on Sunday, in which she said there is an "urgent need for clarification of exacty what happened" to Khashoggi and condemned his killing "in the strongest terms."

Her comment about Germany refusing to sell arms to Riyadh while the issue remains unclear is significant, as the country approved weapons exports to Saudi Arabia worth €416.4 million this year, reportedly making Riyadh Germany's second-best arms customer after Algeria.

Comment: The hard facts are that Germany (and others making weapons sales) won't forgo the income streams for long; one can surmise that a Saudi confession, apology and promises to behave will do the trick. See also:

'Moscow will not sit idly': US withdrawal from INF will force Russia to 'restore the balance' - Peskov

US withdrawal from the landmark INF treaty would make the world a more dangerous place, and would force Moscow to step in and "restore the balance," Russian presidential spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.

If indeed Washington turns its back on the landmark agreement, the ban on the production of short and intermediate range missiles would be lifted.

US President Donald Trump sent shock waves over the weekend, promising to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). Using the evergreen 'Russia violated agreements' argument, he called the accord "unacceptable."

Comment: The only beneficiaries of the maneuver will be the nuclear weapons industry and defense contractors.

Hypocrite David Miliband reminded of his Saudi dealings as he decries Saudi-led genocide in Yemen

david miliband
Did David Miliband forget Britain's selling of Typhoon fighter jets to Saudi Arabia while he was Foreign Secretary? The ex-MP was labelled a hypocrite after he decries the kingdom over their war in Yemen.

Tweets derided the former MP and his apparent aboutface. One read: "Typhoon jets anyone," while another asked: "Didn't you approve the sale of fighter jets now bombing them [Yemenis] when [you were] foreign secretary?"


One tweet from the anti-War on Terror group Cage UK read: "David Miliband when Foreign Sec used to sell the same bombs that kill the people he now wants to help..."

Comment: Miliband is a prime example of the shameless and duplicitous UK establishment, and he is complicit in the Saudi's genocidal war on Yemen: For more, check out SOTT radio's: NewsReal: Saudi Arabia: A Wretched Hive of Scum And Villainy, Fully Supported by The West

Trump: 'I'm a nationalist'

President Donald Trump on Monday evening proudly asserted that he is a "nationalist" - a designation some of his fiercest critics have previously wielded against him as an attack on what they deem nativist policy pursuits by his administration.

"You know, they have a word, it sort of became old-fashioned. It's called a nationalist," Trump said at a campaign event in Houston, where he rallied voters to support Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) in November's midterm elections.

Comment: Now that the SJW crowd has labelled the term "nationalist" as a dog-whistle for white supremacy, despite the fact that it's never been intended that way, Trump's declaration has set people off to an unreasonable degree.



If we take the definition of nationalist as "Devotion to the interests or culture of one's nation", wouldn't one want every president to be a nationalist?

Russia needed in G8 if world crises are to be solved - Italian PM

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte argues that Russia has to be allowed to join the G7 (to become G8), stating that some problems are currently unsolvable because President Vladimir Putin doesn't have a seat at the table.

"You have to move to get to a G8 with Putin sitting at the table, to be able to deal with problems that we are currently unable to solve because we are not all sitting around the table," Conte said during a Monday press conference.

Russia is an "important player for all international crises," which is precisely why dialogue with Moscow is extremely necessary.

Conte also weighed in on the issue of sanctions against Moscow, believing they're not the answer to solving problems. Rome does not want them to harm Russian civil society or businesses, he argued. The official still admitted that Rome consented to having restrictions renewed, as he understands they are linked to the Minsk agreement protocol.


Comment: Regardless of its official membership, Russia is getting on with business all the same with those countries that are willing to work towards a multi-polar, mutually beneficial and peaceful future. And those who are resistant are fast becoming redundant anyway: And check out SOTT radio's:

For once sanity prevails: Trump administration to put an end to Obama's transgender ideology

Americans who recognize the central role played by biology in shaping human needs and desires are applauding a report by the New York Times that the administration will roll back President Barack Obama's establishment of the transgender ideology.

"It is high time that governmental agencies at the national and local levels return to valid science which reveals that there are two biologic sexes, and only two: male and female," said Dr. Quentin Van Meter, president of the American College of Pediatricians.

"President [Donald] Trump's commonsense decision to recognize gender as a biologically defined, immutable aspect of human nature" should be welcomed, said Arthur Schaper, organization director of MassResistance and state director of California MassResistance.

Trump's Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is leading the effort to "establish a legal definition of sex under Title IX, the federal civil rights law that bans gender discrimination in education programs that receive government financial assistance," according to the Times' report. The new definition would ensure that people's recorded sex matches their actual biology.

But the transgender ideology demands that the federal government enforce rules which help people easily switch their legal sex, regardless of biology. This ideology would eliminate many single-sex institutions, including sports leagues, showers, and bathrooms,

Comment: It's good to see that some limits will be placed on what is for all intents and purposes, a destructive ideology. See also:

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told a gathering at the 92nd Street Y in New York on Sunday that there may have to be "collateral damage" to those Americans who do not agree with the Democratic Party agenda.

Pelosi was being interviewed onstage by Paul Krugman, the left-wing New York Times columnist and Nobel economic laureate who predicted, the day Donald Trump won the presidency, that Trump would trigger "a global recession, with no end in sight."

Russia to take 'military-technical' measures if US continues breaking treaties - Russian Deputy FM

The US policy of breaking treaties is "crude and blunt," Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said, adding that if it continues, Moscow will have to take retaliatory steps, including "military-technical" measures.

"The сrude and blunt US policy causes more and more rejection in many countries," Ryabkrov told RIA Novosti, commenting on US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF). "Washington should not underestimate the ongoing shift in sentiments."

If the US continues to unilaterally abandon major international agreements, as it has already done with the Iran nuclear deal, Moscow will be forced to take retaliatory measures, the official warned. These could include "military-technical" measures, Ryabkov added, without providing any details.

The Deep State was revealed this week - did you notice?

deep_state
If you go back and read over my blog posts you'll notice I begin many of them with the words 'if you're paying attention...' One must be very keen, extremely awake and incredibly discerning during this historic time in which we find ourselves.

Most importantly, one must learn what to pay attention to.

This week, if you were paying attention, you noticed that the deep state was revealed. And I don't just mean hinted at or alluded to, I mean it was REVEALED, fully, in all its dark slithering unconstitutional unelected corrupt criminal subversiveness. Did you notice?

So, what did we learn this past week that was so different? I'm so glad you asked!

1. THE STATE DEPARTMENT LIED

We learned that the awesomely powerful government agency that is The State Department has not maintained allegiance to the law or to our nation when on Friday a federal judge complained that he was lied to by the State Department in a suit related to Hillary Clinton's private email server.

At a hearing on a Freedom of Information Act case about talking points related to the 2012 Benghazi attack, Judge Royce Lamberth complained that officials told the court that they had completed searching the agency's records for information on the topic even though they knew that Clinton and other officials had used private email accounts for official business.

"The State Department told me it had produced all the records," Lamberth complained. "That was not true at the time. It was not true. It was a lie."

During the hearing on Friday, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth accused State Department officials of signing "clearly false" affidavits meant to thwart legal investigations into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

During the heated exchange, Lamberth said that he was left "shocked" and "dumbfounded" when he discovered that the Federal Bureau of Investigation granted former Clinton chief of staff Cheryl Mills immunity during the investigation of Clinton's infamous e-mail server - especially because Lamberth himself had found that she had previously perjured herself.

"I had myself found that Cheryl Mills had committed perjury and lied under oath in a published opinion I had issued in a Judicial Watch case where I found her unworthy of belief, and I was quite shocked to find out she had been given immunity in - by the Justice Department in the Hillary Clinton email case," Lamberth said.

How Big Of A Deal Is This?

It's huuuuuuge!

This is a very high-profile, very credible claim, based on a first-hand account by a federal judge, that he observed a lawless, rogue element within the highest and most powerful agencies of our government, working across the DOJ, FBI and State Department, operating completely outside the law in service of its own agenda.

If ever there was a definition of a deep state, or a state within a state, this my friends, is it.

This is a big deal. A very big deal. This story is disclosure.

This Judge's bombshell declaration is an important public piece added to the puzzle of what happened to our country, and it comes at a curious time (again, if you're paying attention.) It is a precarious time for the deep state, one where we see the noose of the truth tightening around the necks of its actors more and more.

There are no coincidences guys. Both the timing and content of this revelation are very noteworthy here. It lets us know things are moving swiftly enough for this Judge to suddenly be emboldened enough (read safe enough) to disclose this information.

2. The FBI Placed Spies on a US Presidential Campaign

Also on Friday, not coincidently, the U.S. government revealed that it used multiple informants to obtain information against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. In court filings, government officials also revealed confidential human sources were paid for their work. The FBI relied heavily on an uncorroborated dossier to obtain warrants to spy on Page.

The FBI's use of multiple confidential sources is not a surprise, but the disclosure is the first time that the government has acknowledged using sources beyond Steele, who was hired to investigate Trump by the Democrat-connected opposition research firm, Fusion GPS.

So, the FBI has now admitted to placing spies inside the campaign of a US presidential campaign. What do you think the implications of that are? What does that really say about how the most powerful agencies of our government view 'democracy?' All of this is very telling and paints a clear picture of the absolute irrefutable fact that a 'state within a state' has very clearly been operating within and throughout our government. In case you're not sure, a 'deep state' is by definition the opposite of democracy.

Another Important Tid Bit of Info

Combine these two revelations with what is being called a public service announcement issued by Politico, also on Friday, to all Russiagates, based on defense lawyers working on the Russia probe and more than 15 former government officials with investigation experience spanning Watergate to the 2016 election case. As the Mueller investigation shows clear signs of winding down, those waiting to see proof of collusion and treason by Donald Trump are being advised to 'prepare for disappointment.'

What we are looking at here is outward evidence that not only does the deep state very much exist but that the jig may be up. So up in fact that it's now safe to start disclosing how this lawless conspiratorial apparatus has functioned, in preparation for the next phase, where justice will be served.

My prediction is that there will be a lot more of this type of information hitting the mainstream. I also predict that as it does, the 'migrant caravan' will continue to swell and make noise. See how that works? Keep a keen eye out for deep state proof hitting the news! Be sure to Follow me on Twitter as I always share these critical nuggets of truth as they come in.

Ex-State Dept. worker gets 26 years for child porn

US State Department Logo
A former State Department employee from Alexandria, Virginia, has been sentenced to 26 years in prison for producing child pornography.

Skydance MacMahon, 45, was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in July to production of child pornography, the U.S. attorney's office for the Eastern District of Virginia said in a statement.

Prosecutors said that MacMahon worked with a woman in Canada, "using Skype and hidden cameras as well as overt recording," to produce more than a thousand explicit photos and videos of children in Canada, and to distribute that pornography through cloud-storage services such as Dropbox. He also had thousands of images and videos of child pornography himself.

In July, the prosecutors said they found child pornography on an Ohio man's cellphone last year and were able to trace it through Dropbox to an account linked to MacMahon.

MacMahon was a digital media administrator at the Foreign Services Institute at the State Department when he committed the crimes, prosecutors said. He faces up to 60 years.
