Damien Green Theresa May
Damian Green, 'First Secretary of State' and routinely described as Theresa May's 'closest ally' has been accused of inclusion on the Tories' infamous 'sex pest list' by a number of right-wing media outlets, including the Daily Mail.

Green was accused some years ago of registering on an adult dating site, after hackers discovered his details on the site, including a private email address. He denied the allegation. However, according to the Mail his name appears on the Tories' 'spreadsheet' against that website's name and another allegation.

As the dust settles following the indictments Special Counsel Mueller issued yesterday I cannot avoid the feeling that Mueller has wielded a gigantic sledge-hammer only to hit empty air.

A quick rundown of the two indictments shows why:

Manafort/Gates indictment

Manafort and his associate Rick Gates have pleaded not guilty to all twelve counts of the indictment. They have also issued a defiant statement denying collusion with the Russians during the election campaign, rejecting arguments that they 'looted' Ukraine and insisting that on the contrary they helped put Ukraine on a pro-European course, and ridiculing the suggestion that their transfers of money from overseas accounts into the US amount to a conspiracy against the US.

So, The Big Fish The FBI Caught In This Russian Collusion Probe Is....An Unpaid Intern?

Hillary Trump Dossier
You can read Guy's take here, but Paul Manafort and his business associate, Rick Gates, probably had the worst Monday you can imagine: being indicted by the FBI. Yet, this isn't related to the Trump collusion hysteria that's been festering within Democratic circles that are desperate to find a smoking gun linking the Trump White House to the Russians. With multiple investigations ongoing for months, we still have zero evidence that proves the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians.

North Korea: A threat or a victim of US propaganda?

Portraits of North Korea founder Kim Il Sung and late leader Kim Jong Il
If anyone is still wondering why North Korea was being "provocative" in missile tests and repeatedly declaring what would seem to be a daunting arsenal (although there is still no irrefutable, concrete proof of deliverable, long range nuclear weapons capability) here is just a small taste of what it's southern neighbor, in cahoots with Godfather America, has planned (1):

"Decapitation"
Kill the King and the regime will collapse. That is the rationale offered by South Korean military planners for a "decapitation unit" they are forming for the sole purpose of assassinating North Korea's Supreme Leader, Kim Jong-un. They are convinced that, in the ensuing chaos, North Korea's leadership would disintegrate and abandon the nuclear programme on which he has staked his prestige.

"Decapitation means we have only one target," said Choi Jin-wook, a long-time North Korea analyst at the government's Korea Institute for National Unification. "It's much simpler to eliminate the leader than attack military bases."

South Korean defence planners have ordered "decapitation strikes" in air, naval and ground exercises in which the targets are simulated to resemble one of Kim's many hideouts or residences. Such exercises are the prelude to the formal formation later this year of the unit, Spartan 3000.

South Korea's Defence Minister, Song Young-moo, has ordered a special forces "kill brigade" of crack commandos to spearhead the group. Fighter planes and guided missile destroyers would provide whatever support they needed.

The ministry cited the successful test-firing of a German-made Taurus missile at a target off the south-west coast as an example of the weaponry that might be deployed in an attempt to kill the North Korean leader.

The missile, with a range of 310 miles, flew about 150 miles, hitting its target in the Yellow Sea.

South Korea of course is not threatened with being wiped off the face of the earth for test firing a missile in to the sea, as is its northern neighbor.

Think about the words "decapitation unit" - the horrific image which leaps in to any even semi-normal mind. This kind of plotting dwarfs even the horrors of deranged criminals literally decapitating in the Middle East. But then swathes of them too are US backed.

Perhaps "decapitation" is now casual verbal currency in US dominated political and military circles.

Best of the Web: UN rapporteur for human rights urges sanctions on Israel for driving Palestinians 'back to the dark ages' (VIDEO)

Last week there was a significant development in the international response to the Israeli occupation when the UN rapporteur for human rights in the occupied territories came out with a harsh report saying the world was too passive about the occupation.

The "duration of this occupation is without precedent or parallel in today's world," the report said. Israel has "driven Gaza back to the dark ages" due to denial of water and electricity and freedom of movement. There is a "darkening stain" on the world's legal framework because other countries have treated the occupation as normal, and done nothing to resist Israel's "colonial ambition par excellence," which includes two sets of laws for Israelis and Palestinians.

At a press conference about his report, S. Michael Lynk, a Canadian professor of law and human rights expert, said it is time the international community reach into its "toolbox" of enforcement mechanisms, so as to "raise the stakes" against the occupation and change international "opinion" of Israel. The country had been worried by the Goldstone Report in 2009 and is today worried by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement (BDS), Lynk said; so if the international community took "unified actions on an escalating basis" to declare the occupation illegal and demand Israel's withdrawal, Israel would respond.

That means sanctions.

Comment: Watch the UN press conference at which Lynk called time on Israel's criminality:

Note that just 7 journalists showed up.

You have to hand it to Israel; their success in bamboozling the world with the notion that evil is good has been without precedent.

Their bamboozling is finished, however (just as soon as the US loses its hegemony).

Russian news report suggests pro-Russian, anti-Soros power bloc forming between Austria, Hungary and Czech Republic

This great video clip and its transcript on our YouTube Channel is taken from the Russian news, and it describes how a new power bloc may be forming on the territory of what was the Habsburg Empire, known also as the Holy Roman Empire, a misnomer in that it was neither Holy nor Roman.

Unlike the Austro-Hungarian Empire of old, Austria and Hungry today are becoming increasingly pro-Russian, along with the fellow Slavic country of the Czech Republic.

The victory of Austria's young new leader follows the populist trend of late, and he'll fit in well with his Hungarian and Czech counterparts, but time will tell what effect their cooperation will have on the Eurosceptic movement, European Populism, and relations with the Eurasian giant that is Russia.

China testing bat-sized drones that can operate in Earth's 'death zone' and be virtually invisible on radar

China is testing a tiny bat-sized spy drone the country hopes will help it dominate a region of the atmosphere known as the 'death zone'.

Also known as 'near space,' the area begins roughly 20km (12 miles) above sea-level and is regarded as a death zone for drones as the thin air makes it hard for them to generate lift. Simultaneously, the extremely low temperatures of the zone means that the machines' electronic components will likely fail.

One way the Chinese are hoping to combat the its negative effects is by reducing the number of electronic components in these new drones. Last month, at a research facility in Mongolia, China successfully tested an experimental drone at an altitude of 25km (15 miles), the South China Morning Post reports.

House Democratic whip resists effort to end U.S. involvement in Yemen war

The bipartisan push to end U.S. support for the Saudi-led war in Yemen has gained political momentum but faces resistance from the No. 2 Democratic lawmaker in the House, Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md.

H.Con.Res.81, the resolution sponsored by Reps. Ro Khanna, D-Calif.; Walter Jones, R-N.C.; Mark Pocan, D-Wisc.; Tom Massie, R-Ky.; and 34 other lawmakers, utilizes a provision of the War Powers Act to swiftly terminate U.S. military assistance for the Saudi-led war effort.

Several activists working to build support for the measure have told The Intercept that Republican caucus leaders and Hoyer, the minority whip, are pressuring lawmakers to avoid sponsoring the legislation.

The political opposition comes as new reports reveal that the Saudi-backed military coalition's constant bombing of Yemen's civilian infrastructure, as well as the blockade of Yemen's primary port, has resulted in one of the worst humanitarian crises of the 21st century. Nearly a quarter of the country's 28 million residents are living in starvation and thousands, mostly children, are dying of cholera, as shipments of food and medicine have been prevented from reaching Yemen.


Comment: Oh, but we don't hear much of this on the news, do we? Why would that be?

NYC terrorist entered US under "diversity lottery"

Sen. Chuck Schumer
According to a bombshell by Mark Levin, none other than Democrat leader Chuck Schumer enabled today's NYC terrorist killer enter the United States.

Rather than the merit system that President Trump advocates, he got in via a Schumer approved "diversity lottery" that randomly allows foreigners into the United States on a NON-merit basis.

Which reminds us of that time Schumer grandstanded - crying and pretending to be outraged over President Trump's common sense travel ban.

Now, Schumer has blood on his hands and is complicit in today's tragic killing.

Mark Levin dropped a bombshell on his show tonight about the Muslim terrorist who killed 9 people in Manhattan and injured dozens. The Diversity VISA program was given the green light by none other than New York Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer...


Comment: With Islamic yihadists set loose around the world - thanks to the sponsorship of countries like the US itself, as well as its allies in the Middle East, most notably Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states and Israel - we can't blame people for demanding a revision of immigration policies. But to make statements such as "Democrat leader Chuck Schumer has blood on his hands and is complicit in today's tragic killing because he approved the diversity lottery" is stretching and oversimplifying things.

People need to learn to think in complex terms when it comes to complex issues. For starters, we do not even know at this point in time if the attacker was acting on his own or if he had actual links to ISIS or some other terrorist group, nor if such group is in turn being manipulated by a third party. Can we therefore blame it mainly on an immigration policy when clearly the whole issue of the so-called 'clash of civilizations' has got its wings from decade-long imperial wars, which in turn stimulate immigration and extremism?

The Justice Department and FBI showed classified documents related to the controversial anti-Trump dossier to congressional investigators behind closed doors Tuesday, Fox News has learned.

Investigators from the House Intelligence Committee are seeking to learn how much, if at all, federal law enforcement officers have relied on the dossier since it was compiled by the research firm Fusion GPS, with funding from the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, in mid-2016.

The documents reviewed Tuesday were presented for inspection pursuant to a subpoena issued by the committee's chairman, U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif.
