Sanders scores big against the Establishment in Fox News town hall

US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders appeared on Fox News for an hour-long town hall special on Monday night - and much to the shock and surprise of Fox and other media, the democratic socialist not only survived, but thrived.

Sanders ventured where his Democratic rivals haven't yet been brave enough to go - and in the process managed to clobber the Fox hosts on their own turf, while delivering a message that the live studio audience seemed to lap up.

Hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum were likely expecting to dish up an hour of socialism-bashing to Fox's mainly Trump-supporting audience, but the pair were sorely disappointed when their tactics backfired and inadvertently proved that Sanders' own brand of populism is indeed very ... popular.

"We need a wake-up call": Former Italian FM urges Europe to fight Trump's one-sided Israel policy

RT
Tue, 16 Apr 2019 15:35 UTC

In order to stop Trump's policy of navigating the Israel-Palestine conflict by making concessions solely to Tel Aviv, former Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini tells RT that Europe must step out of the sidelines.

Frattini is one of 25 former foreign ministers, six former prime ministers, and two former NATO secretary generals wary about the pending secret 'peace plan' Trump has promised to reveal in June. These veteran politicians have signed a letter calling on European leaders to oppose the proposal if it doesn't fairly represent the interests of the Palestinian side.

Like many, he believes that Trump has pursued a 'unilateral' approach to the long-standing conflict, making extreme concessions to Tel Aviv like recognizing Jerusalem as the country's capital, accepting the UN-condemned annexation of the Golan Heights, and making massive cuts in foreign aid to the Palestinians.

Comment: Considering the crimes against humanity Israel has already committed, with unwavering support from the US&EU establishments, one wonders what further terrors are needed to bring leaders out of their trance:

Syrian President Bashar Assad (left) meets with Iranian Foreign Minister M. Javad Zarif, Damascus, April 16, 2019

Leaders of Syria and Iran accused the United States of "economic terrorism" for using sanctions, calling instead for more actual diplomacy from the West.

Speaking at a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif in Damascus, Syrian President Bashar Assad said the United States should pursue diplomacy with countries it has disagreements with, instead of waging wars or levying sanctions.

At the meeting, which focused on tensions with the United States, Zarif said the American designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization was a "stupid" move.

Assad said the designation was "irresponsible," adding that it "is a continuation of the wrong policies adopted by the United States and could be considered as one of the factors of instability in the region."

Comment: US sanctions are forcing countries to create a system which functions without the US, and, eventually, the only losers will be the US and its allies:

UK sends Apache helicopters 'close to Russia's border' for "deterrent" training exercises in Estonia

Irish Examiner
Mon, 15 Apr 2019 14:05 UTC

Five of the UK's Apache attack helicopters have been deployed to Estonia as a deterrent to a "very credible threat" from Russia.

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson watched the aircraft take off from Wattisham Airfield in Suffolk.

They will form part of Nato's enhanced forward presence (eFP), which was established to deter potential aggression from the Kremlin, during their three-month deployment.

Mr Williamson, speaking at the airfield, said: "It's a very credible threat that we see from Russia and part of the reason that we're deploying five Apache attack helicopters is making sure that we're constantly adapting to a changing situation, but this is about deterrents.

Comment: 'enhanced forward presence (eFP)' is newspeak for surrounding and aggression towards Russia. Thankfully for the citizens of Europe, Russia isn't biting:

Huawei's top security officer blasts US campaign against company: 'America, face the competition!'

Washington's animosity towards Chinese tech giant Huawei is based on deep-rooted prejudice, while its crusade against the company is motivated by greed rather than security concerns, the firm's chief security officer said.

The persistent scaremongering campaign by the US targeting the Chinese company, which is one of the pioneers in 5G technology development, appears to have got under the skin of one of its top executives, who hit back in an explosive rant

John Suffolk, Huawei's chief security officer and the former British government's chief IT adviser, apparently got tired of US officials making allegations -while not providing any proof- that Huawei's 5G mobile communication technologies pose a cyber-security threat.

Turkey Istanbul Justice and Development Party Erdogan election

Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) filed on Tuesday an appeal with the Supreme Election Council against the results of the recent mayoral election in the country's biggest city of Istanbul, the Anadolu news agency reported.

"We have suspicions [about Istanbul's elections] and we still were not able to resolve these doubts," AKP deputy head Ali Ihsan Yavuz said, as quoted by the news agency.

This comes after earlier in the day, the move was announced by Yavuz, who explained the need to appeal against the results of the mayoral election by alleged multiple violations of voting procedures.

Britain tries to confront Russia but Germany is being sensible

As Britain staggers from crisis to crisis, with the Brexit debacle rending the country apart, with its prisons in a "disgraceful" state, a knife crime epidemic, and the doctors of its Health Service at "breaking point" it might be imagined that the government would avoid playing futile military games and concentrate on trying to run the country. But national crises don't matter to the would-be big-spenders of the UK's Ministry of Defence whose titular head Gavin Williamson, the paintball strategist, announced on April 3 that Britain would "spearhead" a 'Joint Expeditionary Force' in a military mission called 'Baltic Protector'. The anti-Russia manoeuvres are to involve 2,000 military personnel from the UK and a further thousand from Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. (It is notable that Sweden and Finland are supposed to be neutral nations.)

Williamson demonstrates his ineptitude all too frequently, and recently confirmed his confused mental state by stating that "As Britain prepares to leave the EU, our unwavering commitment to European security and stability is more important than ever. Deploying our world class sailors and marines to the Baltic Sea, alongside our international allies, firmly underlines Britain's leading role in Europe." (It is intriguing that he considers Sweden and Finland to be allies of the UK.)

Comment: The power brokers in Germany (as in many other countries) likely realize that their future lies in partnership with the East:

The US failed to conduct a blitzkrieg on Venezuela, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said.

Now the crisis in Venezuela is on the agenda, the Russian foreign minister said during his speech at the session of the Council for Foreign Policy and Defense Russia, adding that the "American's openly interfere in the internal affairs of sovereign states."

"The blitzkrieg was not successful [for the US], but the Americans do not give up the goal of overthrowing the government of the legitimate president [of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro]."

At the same time, the diplomat said that the political course of Washington in relation to several countries in Latin America is unacceptable.

"Journalistic freedoms may be under threat": John Oliver slams US media for disgraceful Assange coverage

Late night TV host John Oliver is not the greatest friend to WikiLeaks, but the comedian broke ranks with the mainstream press and took to the air with a ringing defense of the organization's founder, Julian Assange.

During his HBO show Last Week Tonight on Sunday, Oliver slammed CNN's coverage of the arrest, which opted to focus on Assange's facial hair more than what the it could mean for press freedoms around the world.

"Yes, his arrest sparks a difficult debate about the efficacy of journalistic protections in the age of cyber espionage, but look how bad he looks!" Oliver said, mocking the coverage. "He looks like a peeled potato rolled in spider webs!"
