The Bilderberg Group is an unofficial conference of around 130 invitation-only guests who are insiders in politics, banking, business, military and the media. The group's meetings are held in secret and are closed to the public.
The beginning of the end of the Bilderberg/Soros vision is in sight. The Old Order will cling on, even to the last of its fingernails. The Bilderberg vision is the notion of multi-cultural, international cosmopolitanism that surpasses old-time nationalism; heralding the end of frontiers; and leading toward a US-led, 'technocratic', global economic and political governance. Its roots lie with figures such as James Burnham, an anti-Stalin, former Trotskyite, who, writing as early as 1941, advocated for the levers of financial and economic power being placed in the hands of a management class: an élite - which alone would be capable of running the contemporary state - thanks to this élite's market and financial technical nous. It was, bluntly, a call for an expert, technocratic oligarchy.

Comment: Considering the topics chosen for this year's Bilderberger meeting, it seems at least they know that they have their dirty deeds cut out for them...

Will public ever get to hear from Peter Strzok?
President Trump calls for live, televised hearing of FBI agent and 'other hating frauds'; Rep. Jim Jordan reacts ahead of the closed deposition.
President Trump blasted FBI agent Peter Strzok on Monday night, arguing that the hearing for the agent known for his anti-Trump text messages should be "shown to the public on live television."

"The hearing of Peter Strzok and the other hating frauds at the FBI & DOJ should be shown to the public on live television, not a closed door hearing that nobody will see," the president tweeted. "We should expose these people for what they are - there should be total transparency!"

Syrian President Bashar Assad speaks to Russian NTV channel
Syria will not allow Western investors to step into the rebuilding of war-damaged country as they only come to "take" from foreign economies, Syria's Bashar Assad told Russian media, adding he will seek friendly aid instead.

The US and its Western allies have been actively engaged in the seven-year long war in Syria, including the illegal stationing of troops in the country and backing anti-government militants such as Free Syrian Army (FSA) and "moderate" Islamist groups. The war has dealt billions in damage to the country, but President Assad is determined to rebuild without a single penny from the "dishonest" West.

"They [the West] won't be part of reconstruction in Syria, because very simply we won't allow them to be part of it... we don't need the West. The West is not honest at all, they don't give, they only take," the Syrian leader told Russian NTV channel on Sunday.

US meddling machine NED boasts of 'laying groundwork for insurrection' against Nicaraguan government

As Nicaraguan student protest leaders meet with neoconservatives in Washington, DC, a publication funded by the US government's regime change arm, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), boasts of spending millions of dollars "laying the groundwork for insurrection" against Daniel Ortega

While some corporate media outlets have portrayed the violent protest movement gripping Nicaragua as a progressive grassroots upswell, the country's own student leaders have suggested otherwise.

In early June, Nicaragua's leading young activists went on a junket to Washington, DC, on the dime of the US government-funded right-wing advocacy group Freedom House. The Nicaraguan student leaders were there to beseech Donald Trump and other right-wing US government officials to help them in their fight against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.

On the excursion to the US capital, the young activists posed for photo-ops with some of the most notorious neoconservatives in the US Congress: Senators Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio and Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen. The Nicaraguan student leaders were also shepherded to meetings with top officials from the State Department and the US government soft power organization USAID. There, they were reassured that they would have Washington's full-throated support.

A month before the student protesters' meetings with ultra-conservative lawmakers in Washington, a publication funded by the US government's regime change arm, the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), bluntly asserted that organizations backed by the NED have spent years and millions of dollars "laying the groundwork for insurrection" in Nicaragua.

Comment: The events in Nicaragua bear a striking resemblance to what happened in Ukraine, Syria and Libya, as well as what has been occurring in Venezuela.

Repeat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is heaping more criticism on America's electoral college, this time during an appearance at Oxford in the United Kingdom.

Clinton, who lost the 2016 presidential campaign with 232 electoral votes to President Trump's 306, has previously called for scrapping America's system of electing presidents, instead relying on a direct one-person, one-vote election.

Comment: There's no need to 'leave it for another day,' Hillary. You've said it all a thousand times already, and frankly we're way past being sick of it. You lost. Get over it.

World's senior Orthodox Bishop won't back Ukraine's breakaway extremist church - And neither will believers

A high-level delegation of Metropolitans/Bishops from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church has met in Constantinople, at the Phanar, to discuss the Ukrainian crisis, specifically, the major issues of the Church in Ukraine, with the Patriarch of Constantinople.

Currently, there are three churches which claim to be Orthodox in Ukraine, however only one of them is canonical, meaning it is recognized as legitimate by the universal and organic consensus of the Orthodox Church, as The Duran has already reported. This is the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate, currently, lead by Metropolitan of Kiev Onufry.

The other two non-canonical sects are the so-called "Kiev Patriarchate" and the "Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox Church", neither of which are recognized by the international community of Orthodox Churches.

The canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, is a part of the Moscow Patriarchate, and Metropolitan Onufry is, in fact, the second highest bishop in the entire Russian Church, after Patriarch Kirill of Moscow himself.

Comment: Following the US backed coup, the political puppets, psychopathic priesthood neo-nazi drones in Ukraine have managed to twist and poison everything they've touched:

How Comey intervened to kill an immunity deal for Assange and Wikileaks

Julian Assange and James Comey
One of the more devastating intelligence leaks in American history - the unmasking of the CIA's arsenal of cyber warfare weapons last year - has an untold prelude worthy of a spy novel.

Some of the characters are household names, thanks to the Russia scandal: James Comey, fired FBI director. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Department of Justice (DOJ) official Bruce Ohr. Julian Assange, grand master of WikiLeaks. And American attorney Adam Waldman, who has a Forrest Gump-like penchant for showing up in major cases of intrigue.

Each played a role in the early days of the Trump administration to try to get Assange to agree to "risk mitigation" - essentially, limiting some classified CIA information he might release in the future.

Comment: Another high-handed solo decision by Comey?

US President Donald Trump has warned legendary motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson of unprecedented tariffs if the company moves part of its production abroad.

"A Harley-Davidson should never be built in another country - never! Their employees and customers are already very angry at them. If they move, watch, it will be the beginning of the end - they surrendered, they quit! The Aura will be gone and they will be taxed like never before!" Trump tweeted.

"Early this year Harley-Davidson said they would move much of their plant operations in Kansas City to Thailand," Trump continued. "That was long before Tariffs were announced. Hence, they were just using Tariffs/Trade War as an excuse."

Supreme Court upholds Trump travel ban on countries posing 'terrorist threat'

The US Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration, upholding the travel ban it had imposed on seven Muslim-majority nations.

In a 5-4 ruling the conservative majority of the top judicial body made the final decision in one of the first major controversies of the current presidency. The ban, which was enacted in September 2017 by an executive order of President Donald Trump, as well as two prior versions from March 2017 and to January 2017, was instantly challenged and blocked by several lower US courts.

Banning travel to the US from countries which were deemed as posing terrorist threat under the Obama administration was one of key promises of the Trump campaign. Critics see the restriction as anti-Muslim and based on a false estimate of the threat posed by the people affected.
