New satellite imagery showed partial dismantlement of North Korea's satellite launch facility. It comes as the US media reported that Donald Trump is somehow unhappy with the denuclearization progress of the Korean Peninsula.

Images of Sohae Satellite Launching Station, released by monitoring group 38 North on Monday, showed that Pyongyang has apparently begun dismantling work there. The satellite snapshots dated July 20 depict the presence of a crane and vehicles conducting deconstruction work on a building used to assemble space-launch vehicles, including a rail-mounted transfer structure. Other satellite pictures of Sohae Station show the dismantlement of a nearby rocket engine test stand previously used to run liquid-fuel engines for ballistic missiles and space-launch vehicles by Pyongyang.

"Since these facilities are believed to have played an important role in the development of technologies for the North's intercontinental ballistic missile program, these efforts represent a significant confidence-building measure on the part of North Korea," the monitoring group said in their report.

The fact that Canada is admitting as refugees at least 250 White Helmets and their family members exposes the involvement of the Trudeau government, like the Harper government before it, in the illegal, US-led, regime-change operation in Syria.

These two federal governments are collectively responsible for setting up and continuing the international coalition that produced the proxy war against Syria, using terrorist mercenaries as its footsoldiers; leading the international regime of brutal economic sanctions against Syria which turned about four million Syrians into refugees - (the international sanctions regime was drawn up in a meeting in Ottawa in June 2013); demonizing the legitimate government of Syria, breaking off diplomatic relations with it, and trying to delegitimize it in international forums; supporting armed rebels against Syria, a member state of the United Nations, by bringing their leaders to Ottawa and giving them funds; overflying Syria on military missions without the express consent of its government; and supporting the propaganda arm of the regime change operation through the White Helmets.

Comment:
Russian Foreign Ministry: Rescue op by Israelis of White Helmets shows who payrolled them

From the link above, Russia's Foreign Ministry said:

"It's well known, that the White Helmets had their hand in the most notorious false flag operations during the Syrian conflict. They acted exclusively on territories under the control of Islamic radicals, staged blatant falsifications, which were used then as a pretext to raise accusations against the Syrian authorities."

From day one of the Syrian invasion, the flow from Jordan into Syria of these terrorist proxies, which the White Helmets were ultimately embedded, has been well established. Take for instance this from two years ago when 7000 US/UK/Saudi-backed terrorists ready to cross into Syria from Jordan. Now, these proxy 'assets' are being pulled out near the same place - and who is who among them will be anyone's guess.

GOP Rep. Trey Gowdy utterly unloaded on the never-ending Russia investigation over the weekend, saying he has seen "no evidence" the Trump administration "colluded" with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election.

Schiff [Gowdy] was speaking with Fox News Sunday when he was asked to comment on special counsel Robert Mueller's year-long probe; adding that if there were any credible evidence it would have already been leaked by Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff.

"I have not seen one scintilla of evidence that this president colluded, conspired, collaborated, with Russia. And neither has anyone else, or you can rest assured, Adam Schiff would have leaked it," Gowdy said.

"That is why they have moved on from collusion on to obstruction of justice, which is now their current preoccupation," he added.

Photos of Hillary Clinton having dinner with longtime pal Harvey Weinstein weeks after her election loss have emerged.

The Clintons were reported to have dined with the disgraced film producer, his wife Georgina Chapman and lawyer David Boies at Rao's in Harlem, five weeks after Trump was elected president.

Details of their dinner were revealed in a New York Times article on Weinstein last year, two months after he was accused of sexually assaulting multiple women in a damning exposé.

Clinton and Weinstein were in talks to create a TV documentary about her failed campaign until allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against him.

In the exclusive pictures obtained by DailyMail.com, the group are seen at the famed Italian restaurant chatting over some wine and dinner.

'Treasonous' Trump in the center of the conspirators' crosshairs

At least the White House can be happy that the resident Hitler-in-Chief's inhuman separation of innocent migrant children from adults caught illegally crossing the US border with Mexico matters to nobody anymore. Everyone's moved on. "Children in cages" is yesterday's news.

The issue now is treason, a crime carrying the death penalty.

On that score America and the entire world owe former CIA Director and onetime communist voter John Brennan a debt of gratitude for pointing out that President Donald Trump's expressing the slightest hint of doubt about conclusions reached by the US Intelligence Community is both impeachable and treasonous.

Brennan didn't just make that up, you know. It's in the Constitution of the United States, right there in black and white:
Article II, Section 1: "The executive Power shall be vested in an Intelligence Community of the United States of America."

Article III, Section 3: "Treason against the United States, shall consist in doubting the Intelligence Community in any way, shape, or form."

Comment: Excellent breakdown of the timbre and tone of the country and those who would sacrifice everything to destroy the president. May they think again.

John Brennan, his melt down and cover up

He accuses Trump of treason. But what's his bluster really about?

It isn't a pretty face, but one scarred from a dark past, repackaged now by the frenzy of "resistance." Accusing Donald Trump recklessly, implying he knows more than he lets on, promising redemption: John Brennan is the face of American politics in 2018.

But before all that, Brennan lived in a hole about as far down into the deep state as one can dwell while still having eyes that work in the sunlight. He was director of the Central Intelligence Agency. He was Obama's counterterrorism advisor, helping the president decide who to kill every week, including American citizens. He spent 25 years at the CIA, and helped shape the violent policies of the post-9/11 Bush era. He was a fan of torture and extrajudicial killing to the point that a 2012 profile of him was entitled, "The Seven Deadly Sins of John Brennan." Another writer called Brennan "the most lethal bureaucrat of all time, or at least since Henry Kissinger." Today, however, a New York Times puff piece sweeps all that away as a "troubling inheritance."

On Twitter this week, Brennan cartoonishly declaimed,
"Donald Trump's press conference performance in Helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors. It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were Trump's comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin."
Because it is 2018, Brennan was never asked to explain exactly how a press conference exceeds the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors the Constitution sets for impeachment, nor was he asked to lay a few cards on the table showing what Putin has on Trump. No, Brennan is a man of his times, all bluster and noise, knowing that so long as he says what a significant part of the country apparently believes - that the president of the United States is under the control of the Kremlin - he will never be challenged.

Comment: Nuclear war has failed to materialize. Russia hasn't invaded the USA. There are still no WMDs in Iraq. But somehow, Trump Derangement Syndrome is alive and well in America, with no relief in sight. As for Brennan, when you're a dog - you need a bone with gristle.

Question

Impeach Trump or will he resign? Odds soar from president's week of so-called 'Putin mishaps'

President Donald Trump has endured one of the most controversial weeks of a tumultuous presidency, experiencing bipartisan condemnation for his struggles to take a tough stance with Russian President Vladimir Putin. And it appears the public, at least in the United Kingdom and Ireland, have taken notice, daring to place bets on the Trump administration meeting an early end, either through impeachment or resigning.

In the 24 hours since Trump's widely panned press conference with Putin in Helsinki Monday, Irish bookmaker Paddy Power cut the odds on Trump becoming just the third president in history to be impeached to 2/1, the equivalent of a 33 percent chance. Prior to Trump appearing to side with Putin's denial of meddling in the 2016 United States presidential election, the odds stood at 4/1, a 20 percent chance.


Comment: In their dreams. The Dems and cadre are conflating scenarios to achieve the specific goal of regime change to save themselves from prosecution. Not going to happen. Trump's holding the cards and playing the long game for maximum result.

Glenn Greenwald: Ecuador's president could hand over Assange to the UK during his upcoming London visit

Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno is either about to strike or has already struck an agreement with British authorities on withdrawing the asylum protection of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, Glenn Greenwald reports.

Moreno is visiting the UK as part of his European trip between July 22 and 28. His visit is not said to be an official one, so he is not expected to meet with any high-ranking UK officials and would instead participate in the Global Disability Summit on July 24, which is co-hosted by the UK government.

However, the Ecuadorian leader is also expected to use his trip to the British Isles to "finalize an agreement under which Ecuador will withdraw its asylum protection of Julian Assange," according to the Intercept's co-editor, Glenn Greenwald, who is best known for a series of reports detailing the US surveillance programs based on the documents leaked by Edward Snowden. Greenwald also supported and defended Wikileaks, as well as the whistleblowers who provided materials for the website, for many years.

Moreno is "close to finalizing, if he has not already finalized," the agreement, Greenwald writes, citing an unnamed "source close to the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry and the President's office." Under this agreement, the WikiLeaks founder could be ejected from the Ecuadorian Embassy and handed over to the UK authorities "as early as this week," Greenwald says.

Is there a British assassination campaign targeting Russian exiles?

Over the past decade or so, a disturbing number of Russian nationals living in Britain have met untimely deaths. The victims - at least 14 - have been high-profile individuals, such as oligarch businessman Boris Berezovsky or former Kremlin security agent Alexander Litvinenko. All were living in Britain as exiles, and all were viewed as opponents of President Vladimir Putin's government.

Invariably, British politicians and news media refer to the deaths of Russian émigrés as "proof" of Russian state "malign activity". Putin in particular is accused of ordering "the hits" as some kind of vendetta against critics and traitors.

The claims of Russian state skulduggery have been reported over and over without question in the British media as well as US media. It has become an article-of-faith espoused by British and American politicians alike. "Putin is a killer," they say with seeming certainty. There is simply no question about it in their assertions.

The claims have also been given a quasi-legal veracity, with a British government-appointed inquiry in the case of Alexander Litvinenko making a conclusion that his death in 2006 was "highly likely" the result of a Kremlin plot to assassinate. Putin was personally implicated in the death of Litvinenko by the official British inquiry. The victim was said to have been poisoned with radioactive polonium. Deathbed images of a bald-headed Litvinenko conjure up a haunting image of alleged Kremlin evil-doing.

Natl. Intel. Chief Dan Coats: Media twisted his 'say again' response to Trump's invitation to Putin


RT

US Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats has blamed the media for spinning a story about his odd reaction to the news of US President Donald Trump inviting Vladimir Putin to a second summit, saying he meant no disrespect.

In a statement on Saturday, Coats sought to clarify his incredulous reaction to the breaking news that Trump invited the Russian leader to a follow-up meeting in the White House in the wake of their first meetup in Helsinki on Monday.

Coats was busy giving a live interview at the Aspen Security Forum on Thursday, when the news caught up with him thanks to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, who moderated the event. Coats seemed to be completely oblivious to the announcement, as he asked the anchor to "say that again" before adding "OK. That's going to be special" with a smirk.

The media immediately interpreted Coats' peculiar and vague reaction as a clear sign of defiance, with reports piling up that Trump is about to fire the intelligence chief for going "rogue."

Comment: Coats may be smart enough to separate himself from the runaway freight train that is racing towards obliterating this presidency. However, as the US Dir. of Natl. Intel, he has a responsibility: to oversee and validate agency narratives; for the consequences of applying what is false; for the outcomes of civil and military response and global repercussions should his judgement be wrong.
