Last year I was awarded Marquiss Who's Who In America's Lifetime Achievement Award. This did not prevent a hidden organization, PropOrNot, from attempting to brand me and my website along with 200 others "Putin stooges or agents" for our refusal to lie for the corrupt, anti-American, anti-constitutional, anti-democratic, warmonger police state interests that rule the Western World.

The only honest, factual media that exists in the Western World today are the names on the PropOrNot list of "Putin agents."

The purpose of ProOrNot is to convince Americans that freedom of speech must be halted by destroying fact-based Internet media, such as this website and 200 others that provide factual information at odds with Big Brother's universal brainwashing as delivered by CNN, NPR, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the rest of the utterly corrupt presstitute media, a collection of scum devoid of all integrity and all respect for truth.

A French vessel carrying Russian liquefied natural gas docked in Boston on Sunday. Another tanker is reportedly on its way, despite Washington's sanctions against Moscow and amid grand plans of conquering Europe's gas market.

The tanker named Gaselys, owned by French energy company Engie, arrived in Boston on Sunday morning, the US Coast Guard confirmed to Sputnik.

"As far as I know, there are no problems," a spokesman said. The vessel is loaded with gas originating from Russia's Yamal LNG plant at the British port of Isle of Grain from which it headed to Everett, an American terminal near Boston.

Comment: Basically this is a case of Tillerson telling Europe to 'do as we say, not as we do!'

US President Donald Trump confirmed he sometimes goes on his fiery social media rants while in bed or during meals, particularly when fighting off "fake news," he told British journalist Piers Morgan.

Divulging the background to his moody tirades that often take Twitter by storm, Trump confessed to he tweets "perhaps sometimes in bed, perhaps sometimes at breakfast or lunch or whatever."

Even the perpetual lack of free time, of which the US leader complained to Morgan, does not stop him from indulging his Twitter-habit, he admitted in an interview aired Sunday. "Sometimes I will just dictate out something really quickly and give it to one of my people to put out," Trump said. "But generally speaking, [I tweet] during the early morning or during the evening."

Asylum seekers from Italy and Greece will no longer be accepted as part of the EU relocation program by Germany, Die Welt reported citing the country's Interior Ministry.

Germany's role in the relocation of asylum seekers from Italy and Greece is coming to an end. "Germany largely completed the relocation in 2017," a spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry told Die Welt on Monday.

The European relocation agreement officially expired on September 26 of last year. In the coming weeks there will be only "sporadic" arrivals that could not be implemented in the past year.

As large numbers of refugees landed in Italy and Greece in 2015, EU states promised to remedy the situation.

Comment: Merkel's government has bungled the migrant issue almost from the beginning. Or have they? Perhaps the current state is exactly what the elites were aiming for.

The Senate Intelligence Committee just fell flat on its face trying to out 'Russian meddling' in social media

Twitter, Facebook and Google had a hard time providing evidence of "Russian meddling" on social media, transcripts from the US Senate show. However, they did shockingly reveal that RT America had purchased ads aimed at Americans.

On Friday, the US Senate Intelligence Committee released answers provided by Twitter, Facebook and Google in response to questions concerning Russia's alleged meddlesome use of social media in the devious pursuit of uprooting American democracy.

The Senate's questions included breathless demands that the tech giants explain why Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are "allowed" to use their services, as well as more mundane requests, such as asking Google if it can confirm crackpot rumors spread by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. However, it turns out the questions were considerably more sensational and accusatory than the tech giants' responses, which in some cases even raised doubts about the narratives being promoted by the US government and media outlets.

"We are also very excited because our plants that we have in the U.S, we are going to put in around $2 billion [worth] of investments," he said. An announcement that the company made back in May, a few months into Trump's first term.

More than half of Russian citizens approve of a separate internet for the BRICS economic bloc, saying that the idea could boost the security of users' personal data and help counter hostile propaganda.

According to research released by the state-run polling agency VTSIOM on Monday, the idea of a separate internet for BRICS nations - an economic and political bloc comprised of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - is supported by 58 percent of Russians. Twenty-nine percent of respondents said they were against the idea.

The proponents said that it could help protect ordinary citizens from hack attacks and boost data security in general, and also reduce the amount of harmful foreign propaganda for ordinary Russians. Those who said that they did not like the idea of an independent internet for BRICS said they expected the government to impose excessive restrictions on web content.

Iran's bold insistence on self-determination makes it a thorn in imperial Washington's side

Iran's unapologetic self-determination, including its ballistic missile and nuclear energy program as well its resistance to economic imperialism, make it a constant thorn in Washington's side.

Washington's hostility towards the Islamic Republic of Iran dates back nearly 40 years to February of 1979, when revolutionary forces overthrew the Western-backed monarchy of Mohammad Reza Shah.

The United States consistently maintains that its involvement began with the hostage crisis in 1979 and continues today due to Iran's ballistic missile and nuclear program, as well as meddling throughout the region in places like Syria, Lebanon, and now Yemen (albeit without evidence in some cases).

What the media and Western governments don't mention is that Iran's core ideology stands directly opposed to U.S. military and economic expansion. The Islamic Republic's promotion of self-determination indeed poses an existential threat to Washington's dominance throughout the entire region - similar to that of communism during the Cold War.

The vilification of Iran through the military-industrial-media complex runs deep. So deep that they've successfully portrayed Iran as a sort of Shia version of Saudi Arabia.

Dujjaric explained that "after a report was submitted to the Secretary-General by De Mistura, and taking into consideration the Russian announcement that the results of the Syrian Congress in Sochi will be transmitted to Geneva as a contribution to the settlement process among the Syrians according to the UN Security Council resolution no.2254, Russia's invitation has been accepted, and De Mistura was assigned to represent the organization in the conference."
