James Comey and Robert Mueller
There are many reasons why the entire Trump - Russia investigation is a farce. One major reason is the fact that Special Counsel Robert Mueller and Former FBI Director James Comey have a relationship that taints the investigation. The fact that they met secretly before Comey's testimony to Congress in June is enough evidence to contaminate the entire investigation. At the very least Mueller should have recused himself months ago.

Back in May after crooked Comey was fired by President Trump, Comey was asked to appear in front of Congress. Comey however, postponed his meeting with Congress because he wanted to meet with Special Counsel and best friend Robert Mueller before appearing in front of the Senate.

Russia has once again accused the United States of training terrorists in Syria, this time at a military base in the south of the war-torn country.

Moscow has regularly charged that Washington provides cover, if not all-out support, for militant forces fighting against Syria's regime and civilian population. Its latest effort backfired last month when Russia's Defense Ministry attached video game footage as "irrefutable evidence" of its claims.

Russian pilot: We were always in 'lag pursuit' of US-led coalition planes during Syria encounters

Russian pilots always managed to get behind the opponent's plane when they encountered US-coalition fighter jets in the Syrian air, a Russian ace said after receiving a state award from President Putin at the Kremlin.

"When meeting our partners from the Western coalition in the air, we always found ourselves 'on their tails' as the pilots say, which means victory in a dogfight," Russian Airspace Forces major, Maksim Makolin, said.

The so-called 'lag pursuit' when the nose of an attacking plane points at the tail of the opponent's aircraft is considered the optimum location in an aerial fight. It allows the plane at the back a range of options, from increasing or maintaining range without overshooting to freely attacking, all the while remaining concealed in the blind spot behind the defending aircraft.

Makolin became one of the 14,000 Russian servicemen who received state decorations for their courage and professionalism during the two-year-long Russian campaign in Syria. "This order reflects a lot of hard work during missions in the Syrian air. I think I fully avenged the Hero of Russia lieutenant colonel Oleg Peshkov, and all the others who didn't return from Syria," the ace said.

Only hours after a black ops contractor blew the whistle on an alleged $1 million dollar offer to bomb the Murrah Building in 1995, he was in a near-fatal car accident.

In what can only be described as a bombshell revelation, a former independent black ops contractor, Cody Snodgres, recently blew the whistle on a plot in which he alleges that he was offered $1 million from a CIA contact to bomb the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City - prior to the deadly bombing of the federal building on April 19, 1995.
"For over 20 years, I was an Independent Contractor (IC), specializing in sensitive, covert assignments, as well as bodyguard work. In 1994 I was given the task to blow up the Alfred P. Murray building in Oklahoma City. This job came from an x-US military man, who told me he worked covertly for CIA. I refused on moral grounds. My strong opposition to attacking U.S. citizens on our own soil changed my status from a CIA asset into a liability, a private, Independent Contractor who 'knew too much'".
In radio interviews on December 4 and 5, Snodgres, who subsequently refused the offer to blow up the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, gave testimony that detailed the nefarious offer.

Ankara has backtracked on its previous statements and continues to support the withdrawal of Syrian President Bashar Assad from the political scene, Turkish leader Tayyip Erdogan said.

"It is impossible to go further with Assad in Syria, in any case. He is guilty of the death of about a million Syrian citizens. Will the people of Syria then want to see him at the head of the country? He fomented state terrorism," Erdogan said at a press conference during his visit to Tunisia.

According to him, Turkey, Russia and the forces of the US-led coalition are trying to ensure peace and tranquility in Syria, recalling the talks on a peaceful settlement in Geneva and Astana.

Comment: Erdogan is notorious for his reversals of announced policies, whether regarding NATO, relations with Russia, or being for and against Israel. What game is he playing now?

Report tells military sexual harassment undermines combat readiness

Promoting empathy and cracking down on hypermasculinity may help the Department of Defense to reduce unwanted sexual behavior and improve combat readiness, a new government report on sexual violence in the military says.

Unwanted sexual behaviors ‒ such as sexual harassment, sexual assault, and domestic violence ‒ "undermine core values, unit cohesion, combat readiness, and public goodwill," says the report, published this month by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and signed by Brenda Farrell, director of defense capabilities and management.

The report pointed out that "interconnected, inappropriate behaviors" are part of a "continuum of harm" that creates a climate conducive to sexual harassment, assault and violence. The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 2017 expanded the definition of sexual harassment in the military beyond sex discrimination, to make it "an adverse behavior on the spectrum of behavior that can contribute to an increase in the incidence of sexual assault." Both the Pentagon and the separate service branches have yet to update their policies to reflect this new definition, the GAO found.

Fast track to enslavement: The runaway train towards full digitization of money and labor

cashless society
© activist post
The other day I was in a shopping mall looking for an ATM to get some cash. There was no ATM. A week ago, there was still a branch office of a local bank - no more, gone. A Starbucks will replace the space left empty by the bank. I asked around - there will be no more cash automats in this mall - and this pattern is repeated over and over throughout Switzerland and throughout western Europe. Cash machines gradually but ever so faster disappear, not only from shopping malls, also from street corners. Will Switzerland become the first country fully running on digital money?

This new cashless money model is progressively but brutally introduced to the Swiss and Europeans at large - as they are not told what's really happening behind the scene. If anything, the populace is being told that paying will become much easier. You just swipe your card - and bingo. No more signatures, no more looking for cash machines - your bank account is directly charged for whatever small or large amount you are spending. And naturally and gradually a 'small fee' will be introduced by the banks. And you are powerless, as a cash alternative will have been wiped out.

The upwards limit of how much you may charge onto your bank account is mainly set by yourself, as long as it doesn't exceed the banks tolerance. But the banks' tolerance is generous. If you exceed your credit, the balance on your account quietly slides into the red and at the end of the month you pay a hefty interest; or interest on unpaid interest - and so on. And that even though interbank interest rates are at a historic low. The Swiss Central Bank's interest to banks, for example, is even negative; one of the few central banks in the world with negative interest, others include Japan and Denmark.

Ankara and Moscow have sorted out the remaining details behind the purchase of S-400 air defense missile systems from Russia, Turkish Defense Minister Nurettin Canikli has said.

"Turkey will purchase two systems and four batteries from Russia - an agreement has been reached," Canikli said, as cited by the Yeni Safak newspaper.

The remaining financial issues have been resolved between the sides, the minister said Wednesday. "Do we use credit? Or finance it ourselves? In the end we settled on covering one part with credit after negotiations," said Canikli said.

UN vote condemning US decision on Jerusalem signals Washington's waning influence

Delegates to the United Nations are generally referred to as 'diplomats,' but in the wake of the vote condemning the U.S. decision on Jerusalem, one has to wonder. The permanently scowling U.S. representative Nikki Haley threatened reprisals - "We will be taking names" - against those who did not support the U.S. position.

The vote was 128-9. Aside from the United States and Israel, the seven who voted with them consisted of five minuscule Pacific island nations, whose bread and butter comes from the United States, plus Honduras and Guatemala.

In Honduras, a stolen election had the opposition up in arms because it appeared from the results that the incumbent Juan Orlando Hernandez had lost to Salvador Nasralla. Following the UN vote, the United States threw its support behind Hernandez, and Nasralla threw in the towel.

Comment: The US was headed for decline long before Donald Trump came along. If anything, the movers and shakers are attempting to frame Trump as responsible for the fall of the United States, but anyone with a clue has been watching the Empire's systemic rot spread for some time.
