Putin keeps getting charged with getting Trump elected - meanwhile Obama's busy interfering in elections in France

He's baaaack...

With his huge ego (much larger than Trump's, I am sure) unable to stand remaining out of the spotlight, Barack Obama has publicly thrown his support behind left-wing establishment candidate Emmanuel Macron in France's tight presidential race.

Comment: It didn't work with Brexit and it didn't work with Clinton, so don't be surprised when Obama's 'endorsement' does the exact opposite of what's intended. But they have a solution for that - blame Russia!

Theresa May's Conservative Party has launched its general election bid with a fresh scaremongering campaign, arguing that unless Tories prevail, Vladimir Putin will win.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has already become a prominent figure in Britain's upcoming general election, having been dragged into the pre-election debate by the Tories.

Facing widespread public criticism for not having a clear Brexit strategy and constantly implementing austerity measures, the Conservative Party has resorted to the now globally-tested method of using Vladimir Putin as a bogeyman to win more votes.

Iran's Guardian Council announces candidates for the 2017 Presidential Election

irán
Iran's Guardian Council has announced the names of candidates who will participate in the upcoming presidential election that will be held on the 19th of May.

Six names were officially confirmed in the list, submitted to the Interior Ministry, including:

Comment: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei advised Ahmadinejad not to run because because 'it would create a polarized situation that would be harmful for the county.' Ahmadinejad did anyways, hoping he could claim the Supreme Leader's words were 'just advice' and count on his political backing to make it into the campaign. This development proves the limit to his political power in Iran.

The Islamic Republic News Agency has posted a bit of background for each candidate:
Hassan Rouhani, (born in 1948), the incumbent Iranian president, is a member of the Expediency Council and the Assembly of Experts, which appoints the country's leader. The former posts he used to fill include membership of Majlis (Iranian Parliament) and headship of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.

Mostafa Aqa-Mirsalim, (born in 1947), is currently the head of the Islamic Coalition Party's Central Council. He is a conservative politician and engineer who served as the country's minister of culture and Islamic Guidance from 1994-1997. From 1981 to 1989, he served as the advisor to then president Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Mostafa Hashemi-Taba, (born in 1947), was a vice president under former Presidents Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a former minister of industries, and the former head of the Sports Organization.

Es'haq Jahangiri, (1957) currently serves as the first vice president. He used to be minister of mines, the governor of Isfahan, and a parliamentarian.

Mohammd Baqer Qalibaf, (born in 1961) currently the mayor of Tehran, was a former commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps' Air Force, an ex-chief of the national police, and a former commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbya Air Defense Base.

Ebrahim Raeisi, (born in 1960), is currently the custodian of Razavi Holy Shrines, the organization managing the affairs of the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza (PBUH), the eighth Shia Imam, in the city of Mashad. He has already served as head of supervisory council at Radio and Television (Seda-Sima), Country's prosecutor general, general prosecutor for clerics, member of association of combatant clerics in Tehran and presiding member of assembly of experts.

We've always suspected they're a bunch of baboons over there in Brussels, now we've learned science agrees

NATO accounts for 60 percent of the world's military spending. Russia's share is 4 percent.

So then why is NATO so terrified of Russia?

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn's first speech of the 2017 general election campaign unsurprisingly met with widespread approval from supporters. But it was also well received by members of the public and press, who felt the socialist is finally showing some promise.

Corbyn, whose party is a double-digit figure behind the governing Conservatives in the latest polls, said the election result is not a"foregone conclusion."

Instead he challenged Prime Minister Theresa May, calling for an end to the "rigged system."

Lawsuit accuses George Soros of threatening extortion and 'puppeteering' governments

soros_puppeteer
When an investment asset has potential to deliver returns for 100 years, the competition to be the sole owner can be intense. Such is the case with mining rights to the Simandou iron ore deposit in the West African nation of Guinea, where George Soros is involved in one of several lawsuits over the past few years. The dispute is aggressive, with Soros being called out as anti-Israeli in the suit, which dredges up well-worn charges the former hedge fund managers engages in a global conspiracy to manipulate numerous governments. The feud with Israeli mining magnate Beny Steinmetz dates back to 1998 and involves charges of manipulation and bribery.

Assange in the cross-hairs? 'Anonymous sources' report US is planning to formally press charges against Julian Assange

Anonymous sources have told CNN that the United States Federal government plans to formally press charges against Julian Assange and ask for his arrest.

Because Julian Assange is not a US citizen, Trump appointed CIA director Mike Pompeo has said,
"Julian Assange has no First Amendment freedoms. He's sitting in an Embassy in London. He's not a US citizen".
As reported by Sputnik,
"The Washington Post reports that prosecutors have been crafting a memo envisioning charges against WikiLeaks staff that could include conspiracy, theft of government property or violations of the Espionage Act. Officials told them that the memo is not yet complete and that approval would be needed at the highest levels of US justice to bring charges to bear".
Because this information comes from unknown sources, reporting to CNN, one can not be sure of its veracity. However, based on a recent speech by CIA Director Pompeo lambasting Assange, it could very well be the case that the US is preparing to throw the ultimate book at the world's most famous whistle-blowing journalist.

Chinese acts to reaffirm alliance with Russia and to quell attempts by Trump administration to make trouble between Russia and China.

The pace of Russian-Chinese contacts has suddenly intensified with Russian President Putin hosting this month no fewer than three senior officials of the Chinese government, each one following the other in quick succession.

The first was Zhang Gaoli, the First Vice-Chairman of China's State Council (ie. China's deputy prime minister). He has now been followed by Zhang Dejiang, the Chairman of the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress (China's parliament), who met with Putin yesterday.

Deafening silence from mainstream media when Daesh terrorists use chemical weapons

daesh chemical weapons
A few months ago, the use of chemical weapons by the Daesh terrorist group was in the news seemingly daily. Now you hardly ever see a thing about them, and they're treated as no big deal. So what happened?

It's not like the attacks stopped: this weekend alone, more than thirty Iraqi soldiers participating in the Battle of Mosul were treated for injuries sustained in chlorine gas attacks.

Iraqi and US military spokespersons are in agreement on the reason for the low coverage of gas attacks: they're an ineffective weapon being used by a desperate, cornered opponent. In a statement to Pentagon reporters, coalition ground forces commander Maj. Gen. Joseph Martin said that Daesh "has used chemicals in the vicinity of Mosul but the chemicals have had no impact on the Iraqi security forces. It had no impact on our forces."

Comment: Western media dare not call attention to the fact that terrorists regularly use chemical weapons when the puppet masters are in the midst of a propaganda frenzy to lay all blame for the recent 'gas attack' in Syria on Assad's government. Can't have the sheeple asking questions or doubting the narrative.
