Every sexual assault victim deserves to be heard and believed, sayeth Hillary Clinton. Except for those who accuse her husband of rape, of course. Or the 12 year old rape victim who she said was asking for it. Or the victims of her hubby's pedophile pal. Or...or...or...Just search for "Hillary Clinton rape" (and "Bill Clinton rape" while you're at it).

Did you know that only a handful of corporations, 6 to be exact, control over 90 percent of the media? That means nearly everything we hear on the radio, read in the news, and see on television (including 'news'). I'm talking about General Electric (GE), News-Corp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, and CBS.

Ever since Operation Mockingbird, a CIA-based initiative to control mainstream media, more and more people are expressing their concern that what we see in the media is nothing short of brainwashing. This is also evident by blatant lies that continue to spam the TV screen, especially when it comes to topics such as health, food, war ("terrorism"), poverty and more. Corporate interests always seem to get in the way.

In the last couple of years, US-NATO forces have intentionally pursued an aggressive trajectory leading humanity straight into World War III. In contrast to the West's overt warmongering transgressions, the political, economic and military forces of the East in Russia and China have exercised far more prudent, defensive posturing that has demonstrated remarkable restraint, thus saving us from potential nuclear holocaust that would certainly amount to Earth's first known manmade caused mass life extinction. Scientists believe five prior planetary mass life extinctions were all the result of cataclysmic natural forces.

This presentation will lay bare the suicidal and homicidal tendencies displayed by the actions of a handful of megalomaniacal neocons in Washington carrying out marching orders issued by the planet's ruling elite whose New World Order agenda for over a century has been a one world government. Fearing wrath from a fast growing population of world citizens actively opposing the elite's diabolical agenda, 2015 has seen the globalists desperately fast tracking their orchestrated "perfect storm" of world catastrophes, i.e., the convergence of unprecedented global terrorism designed to act as the incendiary device used to ignite the so called East versus West world war accompanied by the complete collapse of their bankrupted, house of cards, debt-based economy and the rapid global breakdown of civil order. Through their proven divide and conquer formula utilizing the Hegelian Dialectic, the global elite intends to induce such dire conditions on the earth's surface as to bring to fruition its one world government fully implemented by 2016. And at the escalating pace fueling today's most disturbing world events erupting at near daily frequency, unless we citizen-activists of the world finally raise up in solidarity to stop this subhuman handful of insane psychopaths from killing us all (or the 90% of the global population they're committed to murdering), 2016 may well go down in history as the year they ultimately achieve their fully operational one world government.

In his recent address to parliament, President Vladimir Putin accused Turkey of assisting the terrorists. Senator Oleg Morozov said that after the revelations made by the Russian Defense Ministry, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan now finds himself in a "bad fix".

"No refuge for criminals. No double standards, no contacts with terrorist organizations. No blood business with the terrorists. We know who in Turkey is lining his pockets and allowing the terrorists to earn money," Putin said.

He added that "the criminals use this money to recruit mercenaries, organize barbarous terrorist attacks against our citizens and those of France, Lebanon, Mali and other countries."

"You can pay me now or pay me later" is an American expression that means that you can either deal with a particular problem immediately at minimal expense or wait until the problem gets really bad and the costs go through the roof. This is the message that Russian President Vladimir Putin has been trying to get across to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for more than a week. In fact, the whole smear campaign connecting Erdogan to the ISIS oil smuggling racket was designed to shame Erdogan into "doing the right thing" and apologizing for the downing of its Su-24 warplane. What Putin wants, is quite simple. He wants Erdogan to admit that what he did was wrong and take the necessary steps to make amends.

What Putin is doing is no different than what any parent would do if their son was throwing sand in the face of some other child on the playground He would take little Johnny by the arm, tell him to stop what he was doing, and make him apologize to the person he hurt. This basic learning experience provides the moral foundation for broader human interaction. If people are allowed to simply run roughshod over others - even to the point where they are willing to kill them to achieve their political objectives - then none of us are ever going to be safe. So Erdogan needs to face the music, apologize, and take his medicine like a man.

But, of course, an apology doesn't change the fact that a man is dead. And not only a man, but a Russian soldier. That means something. That puts the onus on Putin to seek justice for a hero who died while fighting for his country. Americans don't understand this because America is always at war. In fact, American history is one long 240-year carnage-generating bloodbath from Bunker Hill to Baghdad, from Wounded Knee to Haditha. As a result, America has to conceal its casualties from public view to the extent that even photographing the flag-draped coffins delivered to Dover Airbase has been banned. That's how Sparta prevents the people from seeing the enormous costs of its so called interventions.

The French Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier off the Syrian coast will be redeployed to the Persian Gulf, France's President Francois Hollande said on Friday after being on board the vessel.

"In several days you will arrive to the new deployment area, you will have to command actions in the format of the operating coalition," Hollande told the officers on board.

On November 22, TASS said that France's aircraft carrier the Charles de Gaulle, currently in the Eastern Mediterranean off Syria, established contact with the Russian armed forces. French Defense Minister Jean-Yves le Drian said the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, which leads a combined air and naval group near Syria, was prepared to start an operation against the militants of the terrorist organization calling itself the Islamic State starting from November 23.

The Prosecutor General's Office has recognized the US-Russia Foundation for Economic Advancement and the Rule of Law (USRF) as undesirable organization, banning Russian citizens and companies from any cooperation with it.

Agency spokesperson Marina Gridneva told reporters on Friday that the decision to put the NGO on the list of undesirable foreign organizations was made after prosecutors had thoroughly studied its work on Russian territory. She also noted that USRF is headed by a US citizen who has been banned from entering Russia until 2025.

USRF was registered in Russia in 2009 as an affiliate of the US group bearing the same name. The group states its mission as "support of market economy" and "strengthening the ties between Russian and the US." It operates mostly through grants.

Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to form an economic bloc, as an alternative to the US-led Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). He has asked the government to start making contacts with Asian countries.

"I suggest that we and other Eurasian Economic Union countries should kick-off consultations with members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on a possible economic partnership," said Putin, addressing the Russian Parliament on Thursday.

SCO includes China, Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan. Other countries holding observer status with the organization include India, Iran, Belarus, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Belarus.

ASEAN unites Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam and other Asian countries.

Today the Russian President Putin gave his yearly address to the Russian Federal Assembly. In the context of terrorism and the shooting down of the Russian fighter in Syria he addressed some very harsh words to the Turkish President Erdogan:

[T]he Turkish people are kind, hardworking and talented. We have many good and reliable friends in Turkey. Allow me to emphasise that they should know that we do not equate them with the certain part of the current ruling establishment that is directly responsible for the deaths of our servicemen in Syria.

We will never forget their collusion with terrorists. We have always deemed betrayal the worst and most shameful thing to do, and that will never change. I would like them to remember this - those in Turkey who shot our pilots in the back, those hypocrites who tried to justify their actions and cover up for terrorists.

I don't even understand why they did it. Any issues they might have had, any problems, any disagreements we knew nothing about could have been settled in a different way. Plus, we were ready to cooperate with Turkey on all the most sensitive issues it had; we were willing to go further, where its allies refused to go. Allah only knows, I suppose, why they did it. And probably, Allah has decided to punish the ruling clique in Turkey by taking their mind and reason.

But, if they expected a nervous or hysterical reaction from us, if they wanted to see us become a danger to ourselves as much as to the world, they won't get it. They won't get any response meant for show or even for immediate political gain. They won't get it.

Our actions will always be guided primarily by responsibility - to ourselves, to our country, to our people. We are not going to rattle the sabre. But, if someone thinks they can commit a heinous war crime, kill our people and get away with it, suffering nothing but a ban on tomato imports, or a few restrictions in construction or other industries, they're delusional. We'll remind them of what they did, more than once. They'll regret it. We know what to do.

That was strong stuff from someone who usually stays very cool. These were not even threats but direct declarations that Russia will take revenge and will follow through.

Syrian state media outlets claim the British parliament's decision to extend airstrikes against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) from Iraq into Syria is in contravention of international law.

The claims come a day after MPs voted to bomb targets within the war-torn country and hours after the first sorties hit an oilfield in the east of the country.

The Independent reported that the Al-Baath newspaper - which reportedly answers to President Bashar Assad's own party - said Prime Minister David Cameron was running a "PR campaign" in support of a "US-led show in violation of the UN charter."
