Russian strategic nuclear forces are expanding their global reach and paying special attention to patrolling the Arctic with supersonic bombers, according to the long-range strategic air force commander Sergey Kobylash.

"This year, we plan to fly Tu-160s to Anadyr [Russia's easternmost Arctic town]. The Arctic is of strategic importance to us and we have been exploring new airfields and other ways of beefing up security on the maritime border," Major-General Kobylash told the Defense Ministry's Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper.

The air force commander also recalled how Tu-22M3 bombers carried out landings in Anadyr in Russia's Far East for the first time last year, as well as in Vorkuta, situated just north of the Arctic Circle. However, strategic nuclear forces patrols also conquered new horizons over warm waters across the globe, the major general noted.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Palestine will finally be freed from the clutches of enemies and that Jerusalem al-Quds will be the capital of Palestinian state despite US attempts to distort this reality.

Ayatollah Khamenei was speaking on Thursday at a meeting with Qur'an reciters in Tehran, which marked the first day of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
"God willing, Palestine will be liberated from the grip of enemies and America and its stooges will not be able to a damn thing via-a-vis truth and the divine tradition," said the Leader.

Turkey has urged Islamic countries to review their ties with Israel after dozens of Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire on the Gaza border.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim told his ruling party in parliament that Ankara would call an extraordinary summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

"Islamic countries should without fail review their relations with Israel," Premier Yildirim said, adding, "The Islamic world should move as one, with one voice, against this massacre."

Yildirim said that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who currently holds the rotating chairmanship of the body, called the OIC summit on Friday.

John Brennan slipped 'pee dossier' into Obama's daily briefing, called Steele the 'credible source' - and lied about it to House Intelligence Committee

A new report alleges that former CIA Director John Brennan included claims from the dubious Steele dossier into President Barack Obama's Presidential Daily Brief - without disclosing the source of the allegations.

"Brennan put some of the dossier material into the PDB [presidential daily briefing] for Obama and described it as coming from a 'credible source,' which is how they viewed Steele," a source close to the House probe told Real Clear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry.

"But they never corroborated his sources," the source added.

The allegations began to reach the PDB after Obama ordered Brennan to produce a report on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, just one month after President Donald Trump won the White House. In January, both Obama and Trump were briefed on the Intelligence Community's findings.

Comment: John Brennan, like James Clapper, is quite the liar. Let's hope this news leads to Brennan seeing a little justice. See also:

Ex-NSA chief Michael Hayden says Americans have been conned by Russia and Trump and should turn to intelligence community for salvation

Former NSA and CIA head Michael Hayden's new book The Assault on Intelligence: American National Security in an Age of Lies wants to be the manifesto behind an intelligence community coup. It ends up reading like outtakes from Dr. Strangelove.

Trump cannot discern truth from falsehood, Hayden says, and is the product of too much fact-free thinking, especially on social media ("computational propaganda" where people can "publish without credentials") where lies are deployed by the Russians to destroy the United States. Instead Hayden calls for artificial intelligence and a media truth-rating system to "purify our discourse" and help "defend it against inauthentic stimulation."

Hayden believes in the "fragility of civilization" as clearly as he believes there is a "FOX/Trump/RT" alliance in place to exploit it. Under Trump, "post-truth is pre-fascism, and to abandon facts is to abandon freedom." Hayden claims Trump has a "glandular aversion" to even thinking about how "Russia has been actively seeking to damage the fabric of American democracy."

Comment: Prediction: Hayden's new book will go the way of Hillary Clinton's turgid What Happened - absolutely nowhere.

Dozens of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces at Gaza border while idiot Jared Kushner blames the victims during speech in Jerusalem

The opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem turned into a major diplomatic fiasco Monday when Israeli forces killed more than 50 protesters and injured over 1,200 along the Gaza Strip during the festivities.

The White House laid the blame for the violence at the feet of Hamas, the fundamentalist Islamic group, but the international community condemned President Trump's decision to relocate the embassy from Tel Aviv.

The President and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, the architect of Trump's Middle East policy, maintained it was a "great day" for Israel.

Kushner; his wife, Ivanka Trump; Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, and about 800 well-dressed guests attending the opening at the former U.S. Consulate compound in southeastern Jerusalem that was rededicated as the new embassy.

About 50 miles away, more than 40,000 protesters at the Israel-Gaza border clashed with Israeli troops before, during and after the embassy kickoff.

Comment: Kushner is a Zionist robot with almost zero pretenses about being impartial about this conflict. While we know that Trump selected Kushner to be one of his lead men for "peace", the over-riding factor was that Trump knew it would please his Zionist benefactors to put Kushner in the middle of things. Still, if all this embassy moving and cozying up to Saudi Arabia is part of a larger plan to actually do something constructive in the region, it would be nice to see some hints of that. But don't hold your breath.

A new report suggests an imminent Inspector General (IG) report may rule that FBI and Justice Department officials broke the law in their handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

Investigative reporter Paul Sperry said Thursday that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has "found 'reasonable grounds' for believing there has been a violation of federal criminal law in the FBI/DOJ's handling of the Clinton investigation/s," adding that the top watchdog official has "referred his findings of potential criminal misconduct to Huber for possible criminal prosecution."

SCL, 'Strategic Communication Laboratories', Oxford Street, London, England: and actual 'Troll Factory' and global leader in 'election-influencing operations'
The following video presentation by Luke O'Hare for Bella Caledonia elaborates on an article published by the same author a couple of months ago:
SCL, Parent Company of Cambridge Analytica, is Military-Intelligence Front For British Establishment [original title: 'SCL: A Very British Coup']
The Guardian and some other outlets continue harping on about Cambridge Analytica and how it was the vehicle for a conspiracy between the pro-Brexit faction of the British elite, one of Trump's backers (Robert Mercer), and 'the Russians'.

Just spelling it out reveals how implausible that scenario is.

One should ask, "Why are Palestinians protesting?" before cheering for their death in Gaza. Blaming Hamas is a talking point that hides many facts and realities. In the last two days, 65 Palestinians have been shot to death and 2000+ have been shot or otherwise wounded - including 200 doctors and nurses and a couple of journalists - by Israeli snipers. Number of Israelis injured? ZERO!

Globalists threaten to 'do a Greece' on Italy as anti-EU coalition govt forms in Rome

Italy's new government, likely to be formally confirmed within the next few days, sets a perilous precedent for Brussels: it marks the first time a founding member of the EU has been led by populist, anti-EU forces.

From the EU's perspective, the coalition of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) and the far-right League looks headstrong and unpredictable, possibly even combustible. Leaked drafts of their government "contract" include provision for a "conciliation committee" to settle expected disagreements.

Mainly it looks alarming. Both parties toned down their fiercest anti-EU rhetoric during the election campaign, dropping previous calls for a referendum on eurozone membership (popular votes on international treaties are, in any case, barred by the Italian constitution). But as they approach power, the historical Euroscepticism of the M5S and the League is resurfacing.

An incendiary early version of their accord called for the renegotiation of EU treaties, the creation of a euro opt-out mechanism, a reduction in Italy's contribution to the EU budget and the cancellation of €250bn (£219bn) of Italian government debt.

Comment: Let's make something absolutely clear at the outset: it won't be because this new govt 'runs the Italian economy into the ground' that Italy then the EU goes through another eurozone earthquake. It'll be because the Banking Oligarchy - through its EU/IMF puppets - deliberately squeezes Italian people 'for voting wrong', as Greeks did when they voted in Syriza.
