Recently-elected South Korean President Moon Jae-in has stated that there is a "high possibility" of military conflict with North Korea. The statement follows Pyongyang's new missile test, which has been strongly condemned by the UN.

"The reality is that there is a high possibility of a military conflict at the NLL [Northern Limit Line] and military demarcation line," Moon was quoted as saying by Reuters, adding that Seoul is capable of striking back in case of attack.

The disputed NLL lies in the Yellow Sea between South and North Korea and is considered the de facto maritime boundary between them. The 1953 military demarcation line serves as the land border.

CNN host screams at Navy Seal who dares question the credibility of "anonymous" sources

CNN Anchor Kate Bolduan lost her mind in typical liberal left outrage screaming at US Navy Seal, Carl Higbie, to "be quiet" while clapping her hands in anger over his skepticism of anonymous sources.

Fake news CNN is upset that someone dare question the integrity of journalism in the United States and the plethora of "anonymous" sources that are often used to provide reliable information Trump, Russia, and election hacking and even the inner working of Putin's brain.

Why would this Navy Seal raise questions regarding a "memo" from the very trustworthy former FBI Director James Comey...all of which is revolving around the fact that President Trump mention to Russia's Lavrov that ISIS is looking to bring down passenger airlines.

Jeremy Corbyn's full Chatham House speech

Chatham House has been at the forefront of thinking on Britain's role in the world. So with the General Election less than a month away, it's a great place to set out my approach: on how a Labour Government I lead will keep Britain safe, reshape relationships with partners around the world, work to strengthen the United Nations and respond to the global challenges we face in the 21st century.

And I should say a warm welcome to the UN Special Representative in Somalia, Michael Keating, who is here today. On Monday, we commemorated VE Day, the anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in Europe.

VE Day marked the defeat of fascism and the beginning of the end of a global war that claimed seventy million lives. General Eisenhower, supreme commander of the Allied forces in 1944, went on to become Republican President of the United States during some of the most dangerous years of the Cold War in the 1950s.

In his final televised address to the American people as President, Eisenhower gave a stark warning of what he described as "the acquisition of unwarranted influence by the military-industrial complex." "Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry", he said, "can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defence with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

Sadly, in the more than half a century since that speech, I think it's clear that Eisenhower's warning has not been heeded. Too much of our debate about defence and security is one dimensional. You are either for or against what is presented as "strong defence", regardless of the actual record of what that has meant in practice.

Flashback Fmr UK ambassador Craig Murray, who met the Democratic emails source, confirms leaker is AMERICAN insider, NOT Russian

Comment: With revived news this week tying DNC staffer Seth Rich to the DNC WikiLeaks (see
Political assassination? Law enforcement sources claim murdered staffer Seth Rich leaked DNC emails to WikiLeaks, investigation being blocked), we should remember that it was clear from the beginning that the leak was a leak, not a hack. In fact, last November and December Craig Murray confirmed multiple times that he knew the leaker's identity, and they were an insider, not Russian.


The former intelligence analyst, British Ambassador to Uzbekistan, and chancellor of the University of Dundee, Craig Murray, wrote yesterday:
As Julian Assange has made crystal clear, the leaks did not come from the Russians. As I have explained countless times, they are not hacks, they are insider leaks - there is a major difference between the two.

I know who leaked them. I've MET the person who leaked them, and they are certainly not Russian and it's an insider. It's a leak, not a hack; the two are different things.
In other words, Murray - a close friend of Julian Assange - says he knows for a fact that there were no hacks at all ... instead, an American insider leaked the information to Wikileaks.

NYT smears Haaretz as 'childish & contrarian' for opposing Israeli's apartheid state

New York Times NYT media propaganda
This is unbelievable. Haaretz is surely one of the greatest newspapers in the world, because it insists on telling Israelis the truth about their society as the country loses the good opinion of the world. A newspaper that gets death threats for counting Palestinian journalists Israel killed in Gaza. A paper whose columnist Gideon Levy had to travel with a bodyguard during the last Israel war because he insisted on writing about all the children Israel was massacring. A paper whose most enterprising reporter Amira Hass has repeatedly broken government rules in order to document the occupation her society wants to turn a blind eye to.

And this is the newspaper that the New York Times is smearing as childish and contrarian?

Yep, you heard that right. Three days ago the Times ran an op-ed by the rightwing Zionist columnist Shmuel Rosner, titled "The People versus Haaretz," offering a majoritarian argument against the newspaper that is reminiscent of fascist Europe - Haaretz is threatening the national will by hyping meaningless criticisms of Israel.

Israel's Knesset has passed its first vote on a new bill defining Israel as 'a national home of the Jewish people'.

New legislation to cement the definition of Israel as a state belonging exclusively to Jews around the world is a "declaration of war" on Palestinian citizens of Israel, the minority's leaders warned this week.

The bill, which defines Israel as the "national home of the Jewish people", passed its first vote in the Israeli parliament on Wednesday, after it received unanimous backing from a government committee on Sunday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to get the measure on to the statute books within 60 days.

It is a fake news day. Three stories are making the rounds through the media that are each based on false or widely exaggerated interpretation of claims. North Korea, Syria and the U.S. President are the targets.

1. The Wall Street Journal asserts with a #fakenews headline that bits of computer-code in the recent WannaCry ransom virus are identical with bits of computer code that was allegedly used in a 2014 hack of Sony. (The Sony attack was falsely attributed to North Korea.)

House Oversight Chairman reportedly ready to serve Trump with subpoena

US House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz has demanded that the FBI turn over all documents about communications between President Donald Trump and former FBI Director James Comey.

Chaffetz's request comes after The New York Times reported that Trump allegedly asked Comey to shut down the FBI's investigation into former Michael Flynn, national security adviser to President Trump, who stepped down in February over his phone talks with the Russian ambassador to the United States, Sergey Kislyak.


Comment: Seems like just another smear tactic by the Deep State against Trump, via their propaganda outlet The New York Times. Again, more allegations and no evidence, yet not only does a supposed objective source of info report it as though it's true, the allegations also move politicians so much they are considering subpoenaing the president. When did the burden of proof drop to such a shallow level?


General Flynn was forced to resign after he "inadvertently briefed the Vice President-elect and others with incomplete information regarding his phone calls with the Russian Ambassador," he wrote in his resignation letter. Flynn's 24-day run on the National Security Committee was the shortest stint as national security adviser ever.

"If true, these memoranda raise questions as to whether the president attempted to influence or impede the FBI's investigation as it relates to Lt. Gen. Flynn,"Chaffetz wrote to acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe.

"So the committee can consider that question and others, provide, no later than May 24, 2017, all memoranda, notes, summaries, and recordings referring to or relating to any communications between Comey and the president."

The production cut deal between OPEC, Russia and other producers has stabilized global crude prices, but US shale development could undermine the effect of the agreement's extension.

Members of the cartel along with Russia and other producers are due to meet on May 25 to prolong the pact. They hope the measure will drive oil prices to $60 per barrel or even more.

At the same time, the attempts to curb production has encouraged American drillers to pump more, maintaining the oversupply and countering expected price rise.
