Fox News' Tucker Carlson burst out laughing Tuesday when Democratic Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline insisted his party is not pushing the Russian collusion narrative.

Cicilline claimed that Democrats are hyper-focused on the economy and that it is actually Republicans who won't stop talking about Russia because they are trying to hide their alleged lack of accomplishments.

" On the one hand you're sort of right, that it does help Republicans, but this is being driven 100 percent by the left and to say otherwise is dishonest," Carlson, a co-founder of The Daily Caller, replied. "Part of you must feel shame for saying things that you know are not true."


Comment: This just goes to show how little grasp America's leaders have on reality. It's entirely probable that such people are flat out lying, but it is important to understand that a good deal of them believe the lies they tell in pursuit of their manufactured reality monster.

Syria and Iran establish new rules of engagement with Israel: Golan Heights no longer off limits

Israel hits Syrian and Iranian objectives and weapons warehouses again (evacuated weeks before) for the fourth time in a month. 28 Israeli jets participated in the biggest attack since 1974. Tel Aviv informed the Russian leadership of its intentions without succeeding in stopping the Syrian leadership from responding. Actually, what is new is the location where Damascus decided to hit back: the occupied Golan Heights (20 rockets were fired at Israeli military positions).

Syria, in coordination with its Iranian allies (without taking into consideration Russian wishes) took a very audacious decision to fire back against Israeli targets in the Golan. This indicates that Damascus and its allies are ready to widen the battle, in response to continual Israeli provocations.

But what is the reason why new Rules of Engagement (ROE) were imposed in Syria recently?

For decades there was a non-declared ROE between Hezbollah and Israel, where both sides were aware of the consequences. Usually, Israel prepares a bank of target objectives with Hezbollah offices, military objectives and warehouses and also specific commanders with key positions within the organisation. Israel hits these targets (updated) in every war. However, the Israelis react immediately against Hezbollah commanders, who have the task of supporting, instructing and financing Palestinians in Palestine, and above all the Palestinians of 1948 living in Israel. This has happened on many occasions where Hezbollah commanders related to the Palestinian dossier were assassinated in Lebanon.

Last month, Israel discovered that Iran was sending advanced low observable drones dropping electronic and special warfare equipment to Palestinians. The Israeli radars didn't see these drones going backward and forward with their traditional radars, but were finally able to identify one drone using thermal detection and acoustic deterrence, to down it on its last journey.

Comment: The Shia axis of resistance has been steadily upping the ante in their responses to Israeli aggression. While Syria has historically not been provoked into retaliation, this is the second big response, the first being the downing of an Israeli fighter jet back in February. Now, they have shelled Golan. The Israelis must be very offended that Syria had the audacity to fight back. If they can get their backsides handed to them on a platter by Hezbollah, they don't stand a chance against the Syrian Army, plus Hezbollah, plus the Iranians. No wonder Lieberman declared "mission accomplished, all Iranian targets destroyed, nothing more to worry about!"

Insane John McCain promotes all out war with Russia in new book

evil john mccain
The United States should attack Russia in retaliation for all its electoral interference, John McCain argued in a new book. The Republican senator has an "excellent" track record when it comes to reselling pre-emptive attacks based on dubious allegations.

McCain, a veteran US politician who represents Arizona, wrote a new book, The Restless Wave, which is due out on May 22. In it, the Tomahawk missile lover calls for a tougher approach for Russia, and for the US to embrace its role as the world's cop.

In his book, McCain writes that he is anxious to "make [Russian President Vladimir] Putin deeply lament his attack on the founding of our democracy," while hiding quotes or footnotes with much regard to his incendiary claim.

"We also have cybernetic capabilities," says McCain in his book. "They should be used to expose the epic scale of their regime's corruption or to embarrass [Putin] in other ways."

Comment: The following 'must read' article pretty much sums up how we feel about this cretin of cretins:

Follow the money...How three billionaires paved the way for Trump to withdraw from the JCPOA

President Donald Trump has just fulfilled a campaign pledge to tear up the Obama administration's signature foreign policy achievement, a multilateral agreement constraining Iran's nuclear enrichment (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA). In doing so, the president went against the advice of, among many others, his secretary of defense, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce (R-CA), Washington's three most important European allies, and almost-two thirds of Americans who believe that the U.S. should not withdraw from the deal, according to a CNN poll released on Tuesday morning.

Trump appears absolutely determined to undo as much of what Barack Obama accomplished as possible. In addition, the sheer perversity of his personality may well explain today's action. But it may also be useful to follow the apocryphal advice that Watergate's famous "Deep Throat" offered to Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in All the President's Men, particularly in the unbelievably corrupt swamp of the Trump era.

Indeed, today's unpopular announcement may have been exactly what two of Trump's biggest donors, Sheldon Adelson and Bernard Marcus, and what one of his biggest inaugural supporters, Paul Singer, paid for when they threw their financial weight behind Trump. Marcus and Adelson, who are also board members of the Likudist Republican Jewish Coalition, have already received substantial returns on their investment: total alignment by the U.S. behind Israel, next week's move of the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, and the official dropping of "occupied territories" to describe the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Comment: Signed, sealed, delivered...he's theirs.

Britain condemns Iran over Golan rocket attacks, stays silent on deadly Israeli raids

Boris Johnson condemned Iran for reportedly launching missile attacks against Israel in the occupied Golan Heights, despite claims in Syria that Israel initiated a tit-for-tat exchange with airstrikes on Tuesday.

Israel said 20 rockets were fired at their military positions in the Israeli-occupied territory between north-eastern Israel and south-western Syria. Israel says it retaliated with airstrikes overnight, claiming they took out "nearly all" of Iran's military sites in Syria. "We hit nearly all the Iranian infrastructure in Syria," said Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman.

British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:
"The United Kingdom condemns in the strongest terms the Iranian rocket attacks against Israeli forces. We strongly support Israel's right to defend itself. We urge Iran to refrain from further actions which will only lead to increased instability in the region. It is crucial to avoid any further escalations, which would be in no one's interest."
It was a seemingly firm statement from Johnson, but he offered no response to claims that Israel had attacked Syria, targeting Iranian positions near the capital Damascus the day before. A number of sources often cited by the UK government said the Israeli strike hit an Iranian arms depot.


Comment: This would be the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an unreliable Western propaganda source.


When asked about the claims, an Israeli military spokeswoman said: "We do not respond to such foreign reports," stated Lebanon's Daily Star. The Independent reported that nine people are thought to have been killed by the Israeli airstrikes, including Hezbollah militia fighters and members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard.


Comment: If Iran has no bases nor military operations in Syria, this would be unlikely.


In the wake of these claims, there have been questions as to why the British government regards Israeli actions as retaliation, when it appears that Iranian forces were the first to be targeted in an apparent tit-for-tat exchange.

Comment: It is most likely the attacks originated from and were orchestrated by Israel, but you won't be hearing this version from Britain.

Senate hearing: Haspel pledges 'no torture', dodges questions regarding CIA role

Gina Haspel, US President Donald Trump's nominee to be the next CIA director, says that the intelligence agency will not restart a detention and interrogation program under her watch.

Speaking before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, Haspel said the spy agency would focus on "collection and analysis" missions and that the US had "learned some tough lessons" during the "tumultuous" period after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

Senators grilled Haspel on her attitude to torture and lamented the limited information made available to the public about Haspel's role at the CIA. Haspel dodged questions a number of times, refusing to give straightforward yes or no answers. When pushed, Haspel was forced to admit that she is the one making decisions about which documents and information to release about her history with the CIA.



Comment: If Haspel controlled the documents and information regarding her history - parsing out only the flattering pieces - she is already conning the committee.

Flashback Schneiderman allowed Clinton Foundation to skip identifying foreign donors

State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman gave the Clinton Foundation a pass on identifying foreign donors in its charitable filings - making it impossible to know if it got any special favors while Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, according to a report Tuesday.

Scripps News found that the foundation and its subsidiary, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, took in $225 million in government donations between 2010 and 2014.

New York's charity law clearly states:
"Organizations that received a contribution or grant from a government agency during the reporting period shall include the name of each agency from which contributions were received and the amount of each contribution."
But both the foundation and the CHAI failed to do that, and Schneiderman, a member of Clinton's "leadership council" in New York and a fierce critic of Donald Trump, did nothing about it.

Comment: The New York State Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, has since resigned his position (see below). In this case he clearly gave the Clintons a pass by condoning illegal bookkeeping according to New York law. What was in it for Schneiderman? He was a legal tyrant towards President Trump, but snuggled into the Clintons' crime pocket.

Syria: Setting new rules for Israeli strikes

Damascus defense
© UnknownDamascus: Syrian air defense intercepted many of the Israeli missiles.
When Trump killed the nuclear deal with Iran he gave Israel the chance to start a wider war with Syria. An earlier Israeli simulation of the situation had concluded:
The crisis created by the administration regarding the flaws of the nuclear agreement could be exploited to promote issues more urgent for Israel (mainly Iran's missile program and presence in Syria).
The Israeli government claims that Iranian support for Syria is a threat to its country. That is a bogus claim. The Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahoo uses the "Iran threat" as boogeyman to divert attention from other issues like the various corruption cases against himself.

Over the last years Israel attacked Syrian army positions more than 100 times, often in support of al-Qaeda aligned "Syrian rebels". Syria did not respond as it was busy fighting against the Takfiri invasion within the country. In April, Israel upped the ante when it attacked the T4 base in the middle of Syria from where Russian and Iranian forces support Syria's fight against ISIS. Iranian soldiers were killed in the attack. The Syrian air defense shot down at least one of the attacking Israeli F-16 jets. This shooting down of the Israeli jets was thought to have established a new balance, but Israel continued to provoke.

On Tuesday, just as Trump announced his breaking of the nuclear deal, Israel launched another strike on what it claimed were Iranian missiles in Syria targeted at Israel. The strike hit a Syrian army depot.

Theresa May has confirmed that the UK will continue to fund the White Helmets, after the US withdrew £200 million ($271 million) in Syrian aid - including money that would go to the controversial group.

During PMQs Labour's Matthew Pennycook, the Greenwich and Woolwich MP pushed the PM on whether or not she would continue to fund the The White Helmets, officially known as the Syria Civil Defence, a volunteer group that operates in areas controlled by jihadist and Al-Qaeda-linked groups in Syria.


Comment: Apparently the White Helmets have not completely outlived their usefulness to the West, which suggests that more false flag 'chemical attacks' are in the pipeline:

Longtime strategy: Israel distorts timeline of events to play victim in the dangerous escalation with Iran and Syria

Headlines concerning the Israeli attack in Syria from Google News
Distorting the timeline of events is an longtime Israeli strategy to make its enemies look like the aggressors and pass itself off as the victim. Israel's massive aerial attacks earlier today on Iranians and Syrians - its most extensive cross-border strikes in decades - are carrying out this propaganda strategy to perfection, and even normally skeptical news outlets are being fooled.

Here's the actual order of events:

* Just one hour after Donald Trump violated the Iran nuclear deal on May 8, Israel launched missiles against targets south of Damascus, Syria, reportedly killing 15 people, at least 8 of them Iranians.
