North Korea's Kim Jong-un vowed he wants to give up nuclear weapons by the end of Donald Trump's first term, offering a potential timeline for denuclearization, a top South Korean official said after visiting Pyongyang.

The North Korean leader wants to denuclearize and end long-standing hostility between Pyongyang and Washington by the time Donald Trump's first term expires in early 2021, Chung Eui-yong, South Korea's national security adviser, revealed on Thursday after meeting with Kim Jong-un.

This is the first time the North Korean leader laid out a potential deadline for dismantling nuclear weapons, the development of which pushed the region to the brink of military confrontation last year. According to Chung, Kim "reaffirmed his determination to completely denuclearize" the peninsula, but said "he would appreciate that such good faith is accepted with good faith."

Later in the day, Trump hailed Kim's "unwavering faith," writing in a tweet: "Thank you to Chairman Kim. We will get it done together!"

BREAKING News direct from the great Tribes of Libya

Stated Emphatically by the Libyan Tribes:
DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT IS BEING PUT OUT IN THE WESTERN MEDIA. THE MEDIA AND ZIONIST NEW WORLD ORDER CABAL IS ATTEMPTING TO FABRICATE THE SAME PROBLEM AS IN 2011 BY PRINTING LIES.

THERE IS NO CEASEFIRE, THERE IS NO TRUCE.

THE FIGHT IN TRIPOLI IS BETWEEN THE LIBYAN PEOPLE (TRIBAL ARMY) AND THE TERRORIST GANGS CALLED MILITIAS.
These are the facts on the ground today in Tripoli:

1. The combined army of the Great Tribes of Libya is fighting against the terrorists and mercenaries in Tripoli. These terrorists call themselves militias, but they are nothing more than hired thugs, thieves, murderers and criminals made up of Muslim Brotherhood, LIFG, Ansar Al Sharia, ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc. These terrorists were brought into Libya by the illegal NATO war against the sovereign country of Libya. They are supported by the US (via Turkey), Qatar, Sudan and Saudi Arabia, they work with the UN puppet government in Tripoli. As long as they roam the streets of Tripoli with their weapons there is no security, no peace and no life for the innocent Libyans.

RT's Keiser Report looks into media reports hailing the end of austerity in Greece, contradicted by the harsh reality of decades of painful austerity still ahead.

Greece's former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis posted a sobering tweet, pointing out that his country had "entered 32 years of permanent harsh austerity while the world media celebrated the end of Greek austerity."

Max Keiser explains that the "vultures left the table because there's nothing left to eat. The IMF and the Troika, the ECB and EU, they all fed on the corpse of Greece that they themselves killed, until there was nothing left to pick. There's no more meat on the bone. They took all the assets, they sold them, they repackaged them, they financialized them, and now they're leaving... And now they're moving on to another country and [will] probably destroy that country."


Comment: The Greek austerity may never be over. It was a 'set-up disaster' and still is - for at least another half century. Rest assured the next victim is already in queue and the feeding frenzy soon underway. See also:

DOJ looks into social media 'stifling' free speech and impartiality

A statement published on Wednesday said that the US Justice Department will meet with the attorneys general to discuss social media platforms failing to remain impartial and battle the spread of disinformation.

Justice Department spokesman Devin O'Malley said that US Attorney General Jeff Sessions set up the meeting on September 25 "to discuss a growing concern that these companies may be hurting competition and intentionally stifling the free exchange of ideas on their platforms."

In a House of Representatives hearing this Wednesday, Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR), chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee, accused Twitter of making "mistakes" that, he said, minimized Republicans' presence on the social media site, a practice conservatives have labeled "shadow banning." "Multiple members of Congress and the chairwoman of the Republican Party have seen their Twitter presences temporarily minimized in recent months, due to what you have claimed was a mistake in the algorithm," Walden added.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey denied the allegations, saying that Twitter "don't consider political viewpoints, perspectives, or party affiliation in any of our policies or enforcement decisions. Period. Impartiality is our guiding principle."

The Skripal poisoning mystery deepens

The time that "Boshirov and Petrov" were allegedly in Salisbury carrying out the attack is all entirely within the period the Skripals were universally reported to have left their home with their mobile phones switched off.

A key hole in the British government's account of the Salisbury poisonings has been plugged - the lack of any actual suspects. And it has been plugged in a way that appears broadly convincing - these two men do appear to have traveled to Salisbury at the right time to have been involved.

But what has not been established is the men's identity and that they are agents of the Russian state, or just what they did in Salisbury. If they are Russian agents, they are remarkably amateur assassins. Meanwhile the new evidence throws the previously reported timelines into confusion - and demolishes the theories put out by "experts" as to why the Novichok dose was not fatal.

This BBC report gives a very useful timeline summary of events.

Nikki Haley discovers psychic powers, knows exactly who will use chemical weapons in Syria

Nikki Haley has stated that she knows "exactly" who is going to use chemical weapons in Syria's Idlib. The prophecy comes amid warnings that the terrorists are preparing a false flag attack to trigger a US-coalition intervention.

Revealing her extraordinary psychic abilities in addition to notorious diplomatic skills, the US envoy to the United Nations said that the sovereign government of Syria could "continue to go the route of taking over Syria" if it wants, but "if there are chemical weapons that are used [in Idlib], we know exactly who is going to use them."

The United States has always shown a peculiar eagerness in avenging alleged chemical attacks, but as investigative journalist Rick Sterling notes, this is perhaps the first time that a senior US diplomat has pinned the blame on Damascus before an attack has even occurred.

"In the past when an incident happened, they automatically claimed they knew who was responsible, even before there was an investigation or evidence. And now they've even gone further. So even before the incident happens, they claim to know who's responsible," Sterling told RT.

The New York Times gives voice to a revolution of indignity

Donald Trump, in a somewhat Trumpian, albeit slightly more incensed fashion, is in the midsts of a frenzy of public statements made through his preferred medium - Twitter - after the New York Times, perhaps the second-most reviled news outlet by the president, published a rare op-ed by an anonymous, rogue "senior official" of his administration.

The op-ed makes extraordinary claims and distinguishes itself compared to previous pieces of information the Commander-in-Chief has taken objection to in that, instead of being based on a leak from an anonymous White House official, it is written by one entirely. He whom the Times must not name claims that "many of the senior officials in [Trump's] administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda."

"I would know. I am one of them," the official ominously wrote. He added that Trump acts in a way that is "detrimental to the health of our republic," and that the writer and his cabal of antagonistic insiders are not part of the anti-Trump, left-leaning "resistance" grown famous through the Twitterverse, but obversely an establishment conservative resistance capable of thwarting the agenda of the democratically-elected leader of the so-called free world from within the halls of power.

Trump saboteur's op-ed becomes Times dumpster fire: LA Times calls author "a coward"; Greenwald: "Unelected cabal"

Trump NYT op-ed
President Trump holds a print-out of the New York Times anonymous op-ed.
An op-ed written in the New York Times by an anonymous "senior official in the Trump administration" has drawn harsh rebuke from both sides of the aisle and beyond - after everyone from President Trump to Glenn Greenwald to the Los Angeles Times chimed in with various criticisms.

The author, who claims to be actively working against Trump in collusion with other senior officials in what they call a "resistance inside the Trump administration," has now been labeled everything from a coward, to treasonous, to nonexistent.

Trump, as expected, lashed out at the "failing" New York Times - before questioning whether the the mystery official really exists, and that if they do, the New York Times should reveal the author's identity as a matter of national security.

Comment: Between this story and the new Bob Woodward "revelatory" book about Trump, right now we are seeing a psyop against Trump and the American people to demonize Trump. This is the same old tricks by the Deep State to control Trump and the minds of the public. The question is, will it work? There are plenty of people who will feel the same way about the anonymouse WH source as Greenwald, the LA Times, and even Sarah Sanders herself, who referred to the story as "pathetic, reckless, and selfish" and pointed out the irony of an unelected offical admitting to subverting the administration of an elected US president:
Nearly 62 million people voted for President Donald J. Trump in 2016. None of them voted for a gutless, anonymous source to the failing New York Times."

Russia's envoy to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe has demanded action over the health of Russian journalist Kirill Vyshinsky, held in Ukraine, who he says is being pushed 'close to having a heart attack'.

"The Ukrainian 'justice' has pushed the journalist from RIA Novosti Ukraine agency, Kirill Vyshinsky, to condition close to a heart attack. We demand that he is freed immediately. We also expect a reaction from OSCE's RFoM [Representative on Freedom of the Media Harlem Desir]," reads Aleksandr Lukashevich's comment posted by the envoy's office on Twitter.

The former head of RIA Novosti Ukraine news agency, Kirill Vyshinsky, was detained in Kiev in May this year, charged with high treason and placed in custody pending trial.

Comment: The Kiev junta has gone full NAZI; detaining legitimate journalists, and recently, assassinating Alexander Zakharchenko, leader of the Donetsk Republic. NATO's ally Ukraine is now a tool for antagonizing Russia, risking regional war and acting in opposition to its people's best interests.

Pakistan becoming world's 5th largest nuclear superpower by 2025 would cause 'considerable concern' around the world

India will likely be unsettled by the news its arch-nemesis Pakistan is being tipped to become the fifth largest nuclear power in the world. US researchers have branded the development "concerning."

Pakistan's nuclear capability has become of "considerable concern" to the US and other countries as its nuclear warheads are set to increase in number to between 220 and 250 by 2025, a new study carried out as part of the Nuclear Information project reveals.

The projections by the Federation of American Scientists far exceed those by the US Defense Intelligence Agency in 1999 which predicted Pakistan would have 60 to 80 warheads by 2020.

If the projections turn out to be true, Pakistan would become the world's fifth largest nuclear power.
