Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi has set off for Washington to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in a gathering of leaders who have expressed mutual admiration for each other.

A U.S. administration official said Trump wants to use Sisi's April 3 visit to "reboot the bilateral connection."

Comments from the two leaders indicate the possibility of a stronger relationship than Sisi had with Trump's predecessor, Barack Obama.

Fed up with constant meddling, EU states may soon be saying "Soros, go home"!

Zašto američki kongresmen podržava Soroševu destabilizaciju Balkana?
The name of George Soros in recent decades has been repeatedly mentioned in connection with different mass movements around the globe that frequently resulted in some form of coup d'etat. Unsurprisingly, there's been a lot of accusations going his way both across the globe and in the US, so it is hardly a coincidence that his name was mentioned by Gateway Pundit when the so-called "women's marches" against President Donald Trump were on the rise in the US.

George Soros has also been known for his ongoing attempts to get richer by bleeding the truly unlimited financial capabilities of the Vatican dry. The war between Soros and the Pope is being waged on all sorts of legal field, after its initial start in 2011 in the United States, before it started spreading across the world. Soros elected the Jeff Anderson and Associates law firm as his tool, even though this firm is known for its connections with the former US President Barack Obama. To achieve its goals, Soros used claims of sexual harassment and abuse voiced against the priests of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). Thus, Jeff Anderson and Associates filed demands to various courts across the world to criminally prosecute certain priests of the RCC. This struggle was accompanied by massive media campaigns that Soros launched and financed. Caught off guard, the church decided to yield and started paying settlements, the total worth of which amounted to some 2.5 billion dollars in the US alone. Thus, Soros achieved two goals: he dealt a powerful blow to the Pope and simultaneously earned some extra cash.

Comment: These EU states would do well to take cues from Russia and Macedonia to rid themselves of this monster as quickly as possible considering his capacity for leaving a trail of destruction in his wake:

BND Warns Turkey Not to Challenge NATO Line

German-Turkish relations keep plummeting as Berlin and Ankara argue over the threat posed by U.S.-based Turkish preacher Fethullah Gülen and his movement, but there is more to the latest dispute than meets the eye.

In recent weeks, tensions have been running high between Germany and Turkey due to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's referendum campaign. Disagreements over the Gülen movement are now adding fuel to the fire.

Haiti's new administration is pushing back against U.S. hegemony in the region — siding with Venezuela against the ongoing attacks the Bolivarian nation continues to face.

On Tuesday, Haiti's ambassador to the Organization of American States, Jean-Victor Harvel Jean-Baptiste, blasted diplomats of meddling in Venezuela's internal affairs, referring to recent efforts led by Secretary-General Luis Almagro to suspend the country from the regional body.

Western media does it again: Yet another 'Russian invasion', now Libya

The 28 member states of the anti-Russia bloc known as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), home to over 900 million fact-deprived dwellers, are again grazing at the MSM trough, consuming a meal that leaves one wondering, 'Where's the beef?'

Since Russophobic stories are a dime a dozen across much of NATO-occupied territory, you would be forgiven for missing the latest bit of pseudo-news masquerading as legitimate journalism. According to this latest lapse into fantasy land, Russia, the Sasquatch beast from the East, deeply feared yet rarely photographed in the wild, has turned its attention to Libya. You know, because Russia doesn't have enough problems already.

According to a combined report from The Guardian and Reuters, "US officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the Washington (sic) had observed what appeared to be Russian special operations forces and drones at Sidi Barrani, about 60 miles (100km) from the Egypt-Libya border." The report went on to quote yet more publicity-shy officials, this time "Egyptian security sources," who described a "22-member Russian special forces unit, but declined to discuss its mission."

Comment: Hard to argue with Putin's successes at diplomacy and negotiation, unless you are the pawn of Western imperialism, justifying the demise of millions of world's citizens in the 'name' of democracy not its 'ethics'. Countries are like people in a way: Tell yourself something over and over again and you end up believing it. MSM provides that service. The US morphs. Russia evolves.

An NBC news report claims that Hillary Clinton, while secretary of state, shut down an investigation into an elite pedophile ring in State Department ranks in order to avoid scandal and protect the careers of high ranking officials and an ambassador.

The NBC investigation was broadcast at a time when they were a real news organization rather than a branch of the Democratic Party's PR department, and provided internal State Department memos to back up claims of a massive Hillary Clinton elite pedophile ring cover-up.

"Serious allegations concerning the State Department," the NBC anchor announced, before launching into the disturbing details that mainstream media would be unable to report on in 2017.

"According to internal State Department memos the agency might have called off or intervened into investigations into possibly illegal, inappropriate behavior within it's ranks allegedly to protect jobs and avoid scandals.

"This concerns a time when Hillary Clinton was secretary of state."


Comment: The swamp drain is starting to unplug. If Trump does nothing else...this is 'HUGE'.

Germany's FM raises doubts of SOHR credibility regarding report on deadly coalition airstrike in Syria

The German Foreign Ministry has raised doubts over the credibility of the Syrian Observatory for Human rights (SOHR), after the organization reported on civilian deaths in Syria which allegedly resulted from the US-led coalition bombing based on intelligence data provided by Germany.

"The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights is not [acting] on the ground but is situated in London. Even though it indeed has a good network [of informants] on the ground, not everything that it reports about eventually reflects the truth," foreign ministry spokesman Sebastian Fischer said Friday at a daily press briefing. According to Fischer, it is also crucial to "take into account that those, who give specific information over to them [the SOHR], have their own interests consisting of this information being presented to the public in a particular way."


Comment: Isn't it fascinating that these facts about SOHR, which have been known for years, only now matter when the reports are damaging to the US/NATO coalition. Such hypocrisy!



Comment: The West/MSM only utilize sources that feed or embellish their propaganda objective. Note that Centcom didn't correct the mosque bombing report until photos and evidence forced it to acknowledge culpability in the strike.

As for SOHR, it was exposed in 2015 for being an unreliable reporting organization (primarily a one-man UK operation), but it must still be useful in some way since it is continued to be sourced and quoted in MSM. The UN, newspapers, and NGOs say that SOHR is an accurate source, but critics have described it as "pro-opposition and anti-Assad, with claims of fudged reports, as in body counts that include anti-government fighters among dead civilians. It is also unclear who or how many persons it has on location in the field.

Belarus: Where western regime change dies

Russia's Ambassador to Belarus explains how Moscow and Minsk are united against western aggression. The blood-soaked quagmire that is Ukraine and recent statements from US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson alluding to the notion that regime change in Syria is off the table, indicate that the US policy of toppling governments it doesn't like may be a thing of the past. However, western meddling in Belarus says otherwise.

But unlike neighbouring Ukraine, Belarus is looking increasingly like a rampart against the west's regime change steamroller.

The disingenuous nature of the protests in Belarus has been exposed in light of the so-called vagabond tax being revoked by the government. Yet the monument behind the protests has not been cancelled, thus exposing these protests as having everything to do with regime change fanaticism and nothing to do with disagreements over the now defunct tax law.

It must be said that the protests have been confined to a very small portion of the population of the country and what's more is that the government is not allowing them to spiral out of control. This contrasts sharply with Ukraine in 2014, where the government seemed totally demoralised in respect of its ability to restore law and order.

Comment: It is smart of Russia and its allies to close and lock all backdoors and be vigilant. The horrendous example of Ukraine is a constant reminder of what can befall the naive and unguarded.

Pentagon's ISIS Surprise: Unannounced troop deployments in Iraq and Syria

The Pentagon wants Islamic State terrorists to be pleasantly surprised by US troop deployments in Iraq and Syria, with Washington apparently adopting a new policy of limiting soldier movement disclosures and resorting to unannounced "temporary" missions.

"In order to maintain tactical surprise, ensure operational security and force protection, the coalition will not routinely announce or confirm information about the capabilities, force numbers, locations, or movement of forces in or out of Iraq and Syria," Eric Pahon, a Pentagon spokesman, told the Los Angeles Times this week.

A representative of Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR) confirmed to Sputnik that "routine" troop deployment announcements will stop under Donald Trump as US forces want the Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) terrorists to be the "first to know about any additional capabilities the Coalition or our partner forces may present them on the battlefield."

Ned Price, National Security Council spokesman under President Barack Obama, criticized the new approach of Trump's administration not to share such crucial details with Americans.

"The position of the Obama administration was that the American people had a right to know if servicemen and women were in harm's way," Price told the LA Times. "It's truly shocking that the current administration furtively deploys troops without public debate or describing their larger strategy."


Comment: If this was any other 'enemy' that would not be a question.


Comment: It would seem to be a military no-brainer to not give away specific information publicizing future maneuvers to the enemy...unless there is a covert reason to do so, as with the past administration's protection of its proxy pawn. Obama used the public as his excuse to alert "the enemy" under the guise of altruism. Trump has changed that because he is actually living up to his promise to eliminate ISIS.
