At 93, Jimmy Carter's presidential days are long behind him, but the 39th president is still very in tune with national politics. He made his views about some of the latest pressing national issues very clear in a recent interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.

On Russia meddling in the election:

Dowd asked Carter: "Did the Russians purloin the election from Hillary [Clinton]?"

Carter said: "Rosie and I have a difference of opinion on that." Rosie is Carter's wife.

"I don't think there's any evidence that what the Russians did changed enough votes, or any votes," Carter followed up.

On President Donald Trump:

Carter said: "I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I've known about. I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation."

Ethnic cleansing: Kurds from Kirkuk begin occupying Arab homes in Erbil, Iraq

Erbil, Iraq
A Peshmerga official has been seen on video recommending that his group burn Arab homes and treat them like Jews.

This is an especially bizarre statement considering that Israel has been one of the very few that has said it would recognize and support an independent Kurdistan.

This comes as Al-Sura News has reported that Kurdish people who fled from Kirkuk have begun occupying homes of Arabs in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Regional Government.

The report also says that people who have lost their homes to illegal Kurdish settlers are receiving no assistance from the regions police force.

Comment: All part of a long-standing plan. From 2006: US, Israeli armies plan ethnic cleansing of Middle East

John McCain backed bogus Trump dossier, helped fund FBI plot to frame Trump

Sick in the head, literally.
New evidence from court documents and intelligence sources combine to show the unthinkable: U.S. Senator John McCain colluded with the FBI and possibly the DNC to sandbag President Donald Trump, before and after the 2016 election.

And McCain is from the same political party as President Trump. Allegedly.

True Pundit broke a story weeks ago that ex-FBI chief James Comey's FBI funded the bogus Trump dossier to the tune of $100K+ with the help of McCain who brokered the deal. The revelations the FBI paid for the dossier were also confirmed by Judicial Watch.

But now court documents and new source Intel raise suspicions that McCain may have chipped in financially with the FBI or privately funded the counterfeit research, either himself or through his shady foundation.


Comment: House investigators are currently trying to get to the bottom of who funded the dossier. But Fusion GPS isn't being cooperative: Something to hide? Trump-dossier firm Fusion GPS asks court to stop House from seeing bank records.

From True Pundit's previous report on the funding issue:
FBI insiders say fired FBI Director James Comey and Andrew McCabe, deputy FBI director, used Bureau funds to underwrite the controversial dossier on President Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election, sources confirm.
...
True Pundit first received intelligence from FBI sources in March that the Bureau had struck a financial deal with Steele in 2016.

Federal law enforcement agents have since divulged to True Pundit:
  • Steele was likely paid in the $100,000 range by the FBI for the research. Perhaps even more.
  • Sen. John McCain was involved in brokering the introduction of Steele or Steele's preliminary research to FBI bosses.
  • The FBI routinely pays third-party private Intel firms to gather evidence used to secure federal search warrants and arrest warrants, as well as FISA court warrants.
  • The FBI does not vet the privately commissioned investigators, like Fusion GPS, who work "off the books" for the Bureau.
  • The FBI pays such contractors from a budget that is not part of its public expenditures. The transactions are confidential, therefore, Freedom of Information Requests (FOIA) on such transactions are easily and legally denied.
  • Steele and the firm Fusion GPS may have performed additional privately-commissioned intelligence work for the FBI.

brussels trade union meeting
Participants at the trade union symposium in Brussels affirmed their strong condemnation of the unilateral coercive economic measures imposed by the United States and the European Union against Syria, its people and its workers.

Organized under the slogan of supporting the Syrian people against imperialism, wars and the intervention of the EU and NATO, the symposium was held upon the invitation of the Greek "All Workers Militant Front" (PAME) at the European Parliament's HQ on October 19-20 under. It was attended by the heads of EU trade unions.

Some of the participants, who have had the chance to visit Syria, pointed out that their visiting and meeting with the unionist leadership in Syria helped them get a deeper and clearer picture of the situation in the country.

They stressed that the western sanctions imposed on Syria target every Syrian citizen who stayed in their homeland.

Comment: Typical American foreign policy: fund terrorists, terrorize civilians with sanctions.

Is the Special Investigation created by former Obama and Hillary lackeys from the FBI and Department of Justice, not only an effort to find dirt on President Trump and his administration but also to destroy records that would lead to Obama or Hillary crimes?

We already know that former FBI Head and current Special Counsel in the Russia Investigation Robert Mueller is a Bad Cop. -

'Stop fighting ISIS, just go home': Tillerson urges Iran-backed militias to leave Iraq

As the fighting against Islamic State (IS, former ISIS/ISIL) in Iraq nears its end, Iraqi Shiite militias and their Iranian advisors need to "go home," US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said in an apparent attempt to curb Iran's influence in Iraq.

"Iranian militias that are in Iraq, now that the fight against ... ISIS is coming to a close, those militias need to go home,"Tillerson said at a joint news conference with Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Jubeir in Riyadh following a joint meeting with senior Saudi and Iraqi officials.

"The foreign fighters in Iraq need to go home and allow the Iraqi people to regain control," he added. Tillerson's visit comes as part of the US efforts to contain Tehran's influence in the region that grew over the course of war against Islamic State.


An independent and prosperous Iraq would become an obstacle to Iran's "malign behavior" in the Middle East, the US top diplomat told reporters during the press conference. However, Washington is also apparently pushing Iraq into closer cooperation with Saudi Arabia, a longtime US ally and Iraqi rival.

Comment: US efforts to pave the way for an independent Kurdistan establishing full control over Iraqi oil fields will fail.

The only people who should stop 'fighting' ISIS and just go home are the Westerners.

Russian senator: US-led coalition wants to rebuild Raqqa as 'anti-Assad center' - Saudi Minister visits Raqqa, rescues 30 ISIS members

© Youtube Screenshot/Gabriel ChaimThough the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), led by Kurdish militias and its multi-ethnic allies, declared victory over ISIS fighters after a final round of battles, the city itself has been "comprehensively wrecked."
The immediate allocation of millions of dollars and euros for Raqqa is another example of how the US-led coalition uses double standards in Syria, Frants Klintsevich said

By allocating money for humanitarian assistance to Raqqa's residents, the US-led coalition tries to organize a new Syrian center, which would be beyond the control of President Bashar Assad, first deputy head of the Federation Council (parliament's upper house) committee on defense and security Frants Klintsevich told reporters on Sunday.

The immediate allocation of millions of dollars and euros for Raqqa, he said, is another example of how the US-led coalition uses double standards in Syria, and example of differentiating between "friendly" and "unfriendly."

"Clearly, all this has an apparent political background," the senator said. "And here the thing is not only in the attempts to hide the evidence of the barbarian bombing, in my opinion first of all those are the attempts to make Raqqa a center of another Syria - Syria, which is not controlled by Bashar Assad. This is the purpose of the money, and claimed restoration of peaceful life in the city is only a seeming excuse."

Comment: That certainly sounds like something the US would do: raze Raqqa to the ground in order to rebuild it and populate it with 'the right people'.

Informed sources in Raqqa were quoted as saying that al-Sabhan's visit coincided with a trip made by Brett McGurk, the top US envoy to the anti-ISIL coalition, to the region.
"Al-Sabhan's main objective was not helping the displaced people but it was saving nearly 30 Saudi ISIL members," the sources said.

They added that al-Sabhan vowed to help reconstruction efforts in Syria after extradition of the Saudi ISIL members.

Al-Sabhan is minister of state for Arab Affairs. He was previously the ambassador to Iraq.

'The Master doesn't need you on this': Trump says US can pressure Iran without EU's help

Donald Trump said the EU would have supported US sanctions on Iran if he was insistent. But, according to the US president, he allowed Germany and France to keep making money with Tehran as America was capable of putting pressure on Iranians on its own.

When asked by Fox News if Europe is going to support his new strategy on Iran, Trump replied by saying that he has really warm relations with French and German leaders."They're great friends of mine. They really are. I get along with all of them, whether it's Emmanuel [Macron] or whether it's Angela [Merkel]... I really like those people," he said.

As for the Iranian issue, Trump stressed: "I told them [the EU]: 'Just keep making money. Don't worry about it. We don't need you on this."

US now admits Syrian "rebels" have used chemical weapons

syria_us
From the first moment chemical weapons were used on the Syrian battlefield, the American public was led to believe that only one side could possibly be responsible. The constant refrain in the echo chamber of US government officials and the mainstream media was that only the Assad government possessed chemical stockpiles and the technological capability of deploying such heinous weapons, therefore blame for each and every chemical attack from Ghouta to Khan Sheikhoun was laid at the feet of Assad and the Syrian military.

And yet last Wednesday, for the first time, the US State Department casually dropped an important admission into its official Syria travel warning for American citizens: that the core rebel group currently operating in northwest Syria not only possesses but has used chemical weapons - to the point that the State Department considers it a major enough threat to publicly warn citizens about.

The media is shocked, shocked I tell you! Discovers facts that discredit Russia-Trump collusion fairytales

Journalists can't push a Russia collusion narrative for a year then go silent because it turns out Russians paid a shady opposition research firm that happens to employ a bunch of their close friends.

This morning President Donald J. Trump tweeted:


He's referring to yesterday's news that, as CNN headlined its story on the matter, "Fusion GPS partners plead Fifth before House Intel."

Fusion GPS is the firm that paid for and disseminated the discredited dossier that former FBI director James Comey briefed President Obama and President-elect Trump about in January. The almost immediate and well-sourced leak of that briefing to CNN is what got the Russia scare really going in January. BuzzFeed published the dossier very soon after CNN's story ran.
