We all know what Hillary is and was for years. This is why she should be jail, purged of all the stolen money that the Clintons have ripped off the citizens of the U.S., and placed in prison. That goes for all the Obama administration as well. If our elected representatives and the people they employ are not held accountable for their crimes then there is no justice for any of us.

Sadly that never happened because it is absolutely well known that Comey lied and saved Hillary Clinton. We all know that Comey has been on the Clinton payroll for decades.

Luckily it seems that the sleeping giant is waking up!

White House, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has ordered Justice Department prosecutors to question FBI Agents about their investigations into the Uranium One deal, NBC News reports.

Comment: Given the decades of scandals attached to Killary 'n Slick Willy, will Uranium One finally bring the Clinton Mafia down?

Petroyuan - The demise of the petrodollar

Petrodollars have dominated the global energy markets for more than 40 years. But now, China is looking to change that by replacing the word dollars for yuan.

Nations, of course, have tried this before since the system was set up by former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in tandem with the House of Saud back in 1974

Vast populations across the Middle East and Northern Africa quickly felt the consequences when Iraq's Saddam Hussein decided to sell oil in euros. Then there was Libya's Muammar Gaddafi's pan-African gold dinar blueprint, which failed to create a splash in an oil barrel.

Fast forward 25 years and China is making a move to break the United States petrodollar stranglehold. The plan is to set up oil-futures trading in the yuan, which will be fully convertible into gold on the Shanghai and Hong Kong foreign exchange markets.

The Shanghai Futures Exchange and its subsidiary, the Shanghai International Energy Exchange (INE), have already run four simulations for crude futures.

It was expected to be rolled out by the end of this year, but that looks unlikely to happen. But when it does get off the ground in 2018, the fundamentals will be clear - this triple oil-yuan-gold route will bypass the mighty green back.

The era of the petroyuan will be at hand.

An article in the British newspaper the Daily Telegraph is reporting that the US is now very close to deciding on a list of options for military strikes against North Korea.

The Daily Telegraph claims that its article is based on inside information provided to it by officials of the US and British governments:
.........this newspaper talked to around a dozen current and former officials in America and Britain about policy towards North Korea. The conversations show that the Trump administration is more willing to consider military options to end the conflict than widely assumed.
The Daily Telegraph outlines some of the options which are being discussed

Establishment panic? G-20 members pushing to discuss Bitcoin at next meeting

Considering the lengths to which the G-20 goes to "not discuss" Japan's burgeoning debt-to-GDP and monetization scheme, you know the elites are starting to panic when Germany backs France's call for a full discussion on the regulation of Bitcoin at their next G-20 meeting.

As Coindesk reports, France's finance minister is planning to push for a discussion on bitcoin regulation at a G-20 summit in 2018.

Citing French news network LCI, Reuters reported yesterday that Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said in an interview that he will ask Argentina, which is set to take control of the G20 presidency, to put bitcoin on the agenda during an upcoming gathering in April.

Humiliation at UN is sign that Washington's a washed-up superpower

The humiliating condemnation of the US this week at the UN General Assembly over its Jerusalem policy revealed both Washington's contempt for democracy and international law, and just how isolated America has become globally.

The overwhelming rejection of President Trump's declaration of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital by 128 member nations at the UN is a signal event of how far US international standing has slumped.

Leader of the free world? More like a miscreant whose overbearing megalomaniacal ego is no longer tolerable to virtually everyone else.

Even close US allies among the NATO military alliance voted against Washington's position. Britain, France, and Germany joined with other international powers, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, India, and Brazil, to repudiate Trump's decision taken earlier this month to recognize Jerusalem.

The Royal Australian Air Force is withdrawing its jets from anti-terrorist missions in Iraq and Syria, shifting its focus to "support" and provide "counter-terrorism services" to the Iraqi Security Forces.

Iraq formally declared its fight against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) over on December 9 after three years of heavy combat. Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the withdrawal of the Russian Air Force from Syria two days later. Having carried out its first combat mission against IS in Iraq in September 2014, Australia is now recalling most of its airpower from the region, after having faithfully served the US-led Coalition.

"The Australian government has determined we will bring home our six Super Hornet strike aircraft from the Middle East, marking the end of Australia's air strike operations in Iraq and Syria," Defence Minister Marise Payne announced Friday. "We can be immensely proud of the contribution our Hornet crews have made to the fight against Daesh. There's no doubt our air strike operations have made a difference."

Washington's new national security strategy is "aggressive," Russian President Vladimir Putin has said, adding that Moscow will take the US stance into consideration.

Both the US and NATO have been "accelerating build-up of infrastructure in Europe," the Russian leader said Friday. Referring to the "defense strategy recently put out" by Washington, Putin said it was "definitely offensive... speaking in diplomatic language."

"And if we switch to military language, then its character is definitely aggressive," the president added, speaking at a Russian Defense Ministry meeting.

Comment: The US has always maintained an aggressive stance throughout the world. Contrast that with Russia's defense strategy: 'Not the world's gendarme': Putin will scale down Russia's military spending

EuroRealism vs. EuroLiberalism: The West proves that Poland's loyalty was worthless

Poland and EU flag graphic
Poland, one of the most loyal EU members, was just stabbed in the back by Brussels after the bloc initiated punitive Article 7 proceedings against it, proving that Warsaw's unwavering loyalty to the West was worthless this entire time and thus giving Poles a reason to reconsider whether it's time that they attempt to restore their long-lost Great Power status in Europe.

Many Poles were shocked to hear that Brussels had begun the process to sanction their country, despite knowing in the back of their minds all along that this was a very probable scenario. The EU had been warning Poland for months now that it wouldn't tolerate the ruling Law & Justice party's (PiS) judicial reforms, labeling them as "anti-democratic" in spite of the same envisioned changes already being in place in many Western European countries. All that PiS wants to do is make it so that judges are accountable to the people, not to one another, and break the backs of the communist-era clique that still controls the country's courts. This is crucial in the modern context because PiS follows a EuroRealist ideology that aspires to improve Poland's sovereign standing in the EU, a vision which is directly at odds with EU-hegemon Germany's EuroLiberalism that instead wants all member states to be subservient to an unelected bureaucracy in Brussels.


Comment: In politically-motivated attack, EU triggers Article 7 for first time, warning Poland sanctions to follow

Ahed Tamimi flips Zionist mythology on its head: The Palestinians are David

The story of David and Goliath is a central Zionist myth. The case of Ahed Tamimi shows that while Israel still thinks it's David, in reality, it's Goliath.
Ahed Tamimi
© Haim ShwarczenbergWho is David and who is Goliath? Ahed Tamimi faces down a soldier in Nabi Saleh.
After the images from Nabi Saleh surfaced earlier this week, Minister of Education Naftali quickly made himself judge, jury, and executioner, declaring that the two Palestinian girls "should spend their lives in prison." But why? Young Israeli settlers routinely disrespect soldiers and flout the rule of law. And that's exactly the point: Ahed Tamimi did what's reserved for Israeli settlers alone.

What, for Israelis, was most embarrassing about the pictures of Ahed Tamimi slapping an Israeli soldier? A woman hitting a man? A Muslim hitting a Jew? A civilian hitting a representative of law and order? A student hitting a trained fighter? That with her bare hands she hit someone fully armed and armored? That she hit the force that denies her rights? From the responses on social media, it seems all of the above. Ahed Tamimi flipped the traditional roles in the myth of David and Goliath, which was and remains a foundational myth of Zionist education.

Comment: Free Ahed Tamimi. Free Palestine.

Assange then tweets video with Seth Rich hint

Three hooded figures dressed in black broke into the Madrid office of WikiLeaks lawyer Baltasar Garzon at dawn on Monday morning, in what police are describing as a "very professional" operation they are treating as an attempted robbery, according to Spain's largest newspaper, El País. Garzon heads Assange's legal defense, in particular working to avoid extradition to Sweden and preparing to face charges thought to be pending by U.S. authorities.

The intruders covered security cameras with tape, and there were no signs that anything was taken - however police are analyzing Garzon's computer equipment to determine whether or not any files were taken or copied. "They have not taken what they have been looking for," Garzon told El Periodico, and told Ser magazine that his clients' security "has not been affected," and that the people "acted very quickly."

WikiLeaks tweeted the article from El País, which was followed 90 minutes later by a tweet from Assange regarding the break-in.
