US headed for another 'tanker war' with Iran - this time off Venezuela's coast

Iranian state TV has announced at least five least five Iranian-flagged tankers are transporting fuel to Venezuela through the Atlantic Ocean and plan to break the American blockade on the Latin American country.

Iran has warned that any US attempt at intercepting its fuel tankers "would have serious repercussions for the Trump administration ahead of the November elections."

State-funded PressTV underscores that "Iran is shipping tons of gasoline to Venezuela in defiance of US sanctions on both countries in a symbolic move guaranteed by Tehran's missile prowess."

Both countries have been targeted under US sanctions and various levels of covert military action of late. President Trump has taken a personal interest in renewed pressure on Maduro, within the past months reportedly pushing his generals to go forward with a 'naval blockade' of the socialist nation.

Comment: Or not. The US also knows that both China and Russia support Venezuela - and that they may make some moves of their own to demonstrate their unwillingness to allow Venezuela to be further bullied.

"Our job is to save lives," says New Zealand Prime Minister who supports abortion on demand

jacinda ardern baby
On March 23, 2020, a month after New Zealand had recorded its first case of coronavirus, Prime Minister Jacinta Ardern announced a draconian national lockdown when it only had 102 cases and zero deaths.

Her radical decision was highly praised by the usual suspects, including the discredited WHO.

Addressing the NZ Parliament on March 25th to justify the nation going "into an extreme lockdown", Ardern contented that the job of her government is to "save lives".

Soros: We're now in 'revolutionary moment' that allows us to achieve the 'inconceivable'

Billionaire George Soros speaks in Berlin, Germany on September 10, 2012.
In a new interview, the left-wing billionaire called the coronavirus pandemic 'the crisis of my lifetime.'

Left-wing billionaire George Soros has indicated that the coronavirus pandemic paves the way for societal changes previously thought impossible, calling it "the crisis of my lifetime." Soros had lived through the Second World War as a youth.

"Even before the pandemic hit, I realized that we were in a revolutionary moment where what would be impossible or even inconceivable in normal times had become not only possible, but probably absolutely necessary," he said during an interview on May 11.


Comment: Lookout George - the "revolutionary moment" may not be what you're expecting: Covid-19 may be laying grounds for second American Civil War


Soros also said that "Europe is facing several existential dangers."

He was "particularly concerned about the survival of the EU because it is an incomplete union." While, according to the Hungarian-born billionaire, the European Union was "in the process of being created," that process "was never completed."

Thus, Soros said the EU was "exceptionally vulnerable - more vulnerable than the US not just because it is an incomplete union but also because it is based on the rule of law."

Comment: Oy! This article is far too kind to the maniacal financier and destroyer of nations George Soros.

Here's the full interview:

ODNI to offer presidential election security briefings for both parties in run-up to November

Richard Grenell

Richard Grenell
Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell on Friday announced that the U.S. intelligence community will lead new election security threat briefings for presidential candidates, their campaigns and major political parties ahead of the 2020 election, Fox News has learned.

A senior administration official told Fox News the newly-Senate confirmed director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center inside ODNI, Bill Evanina, will serve as the intelligence community's leader of the "critical effort."

"U.S. elections are the foundation of our nation's democracy," Evanina said Friday. "We are committed to supporting this administration's 'whole of government' effort to secure the 2020 election."

The senior administration official told Fox News that the change "represents an important improvement in simplification to the threat notification process."

The briefings, which the official said would "begin in the near future," will be delivered to candidates themselves, and their campaigns: President Trump's and presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's campaigns.

Comment: Ostensibly this means that the Trump administration is trying to get ahead of the Dem's attempt to steal the election via, mail in ballots, on-line voting because Corona - or whatever else they can come up with. But who knows what strange directions "The Intelligence Community" will take their oversight to.

Bill Gates offered $10 million bribe for forced vaccination in Nigeria

Bill Gates, bribe, Nigeria

Bill Gates Offered $10 Million Bribe For Forced Vaccination In Nigeria
Based on an intercepted human intelligence report, a controversy has erupted in Nigeria whereby it is revealed that Bill Gates offered $10 million bribe for a forced vaccination program for Coronavirus to the Nigerian House of Representatives. The opposition political parties rejected the "foreign-sponsored Bill" mandating the compulsory vaccination of all Nigerians even when the vaccines have not been discovered and demanded the Speaker be impeached if he forces the bill on members. The development comes a month after Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nephew of former American President John F. Kennedy, in a lengthy piece exposed Bill Gates agenda in India and his "obsession with vaccines".

Just a couple of days later, now an Italian politician has demanded the arrest of Bill Gates in the Italian parliament. Sara Cunial, the Member of Parliament for Rome denounced Bill Gates as a "vaccine criminal" and urged the Italian President to hand him over to the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. She also exposed Bill Gates' agenda in India and Africa, along with the plans to chip the human race through the digital identification program ID2020.

UPDATE: Tanzania kicked out WHO after Goat and Papaya samples came COVID-19 Positive. Days after the Tanzanian move, Burundi also kicked out entire WHO Coronavirus Team from the country for interference in internal matters. Meanwhile, in a shocking development the President of Madagascar has made a sensational claim that the WHO offered $20m bribe to poison COVID-19 cure. Looks like WHO's days in Africa are over.

Why US must be prosecuted for its war crimes against Iraq

© Associated Press
The reason why the U.S. Government must be prosecuted for its war-crimes against Iraq is that they are so horrific and there are so many of them, and international law crumbles until they become prosecuted and severely punished for what they did. We therefore now have internationally a lawless world (or "World Order") in which "Might makes right," and in which there is really no effective international law, at all. This is merely gangster "law," ruling on an international level. It is what Hitler and his Axis of fascist imperialists had imposed upon the world until the Allies — U.S. under FDR, UK under Churchill, and U.S.S.R. under Stalin — defeated it, and established the United Nations. Furthermore, America's leaders deceived the American public into perpetrating this invasion and occupation, of a foreign country (Iraq) that had never threatened the United States; and, so, this invasion and subsequent military occupation constitutes the very epitome of "aggressive war" — unwarranted and illegal international aggression. (Hitler, similarly to George W. Bush, would never have been able to obtain the support of his people to invade if he had not lied, or "deceived," them, into invading and militarily occupying foreign countries that had never threatened Germany, such as Belgium, Poland and Czechoslovakia. This — Hitler's lie-based aggressions — was the core of what the Nazis were hung for, and yet America now does it.)

Recently-appointed Chinese ambassador to Israel found dead in his bed - 'Cardiac arrest' suspected

Du Wei China ambassador Israel dead

Du Wei, China's ambassador to Israel, is pictured during a news briefing in Kiev, Ukraine on 30 August 2019
Cause of death appears to be a cardiac incident, as the envoy was found dead in his bed by staff at his residence with no signs of violence on his body

Chinese Ambassador to Israel Du Wei was found dead Sunday in his apartment in a Tel Aviv suburb. Police have launched an investigation into his death.

Du, 58, was found dead in his bed and appears to have died in his sleep. He left behind a wife and a son. He was appointed as China's envoy to Israel in February.

Initial reports say that Du was found dead in his bed by staff at his residence, and that no signs of violence were found on his body. The Magen David Adom first aid service said that the cause of death appears to be a cardiac incident.

Comment: Hmmm. And he was China's ambassador to the Ukraine before being recently posted to Israel.

That the US was leaning on Israel regarding China is clear.

The Jerusalem Post led on May 9th with an article criticizing China's participation in constructing an Israeli desalination plant. Four days later the U.S. State Department released a briefing on Pompeo's Jerusalem visit and an interview with a local news outlet where Pompeo attempted to be 'persuasive' about the dangers of dealing with China. Haaretz countered on May 15 with an article regarding the Chinese Embassy's statement of solidarity with their 'Jewish friends' and the hope of a 'win-win' relationship.

Two days later, the Chinese ambassador was found dead.

Could the fact that Pompeo warned Israel off making deals with China have anything to do with this? Ambassadors are not generally targeted, but we live in increasingly interesting times...

After Youtube and Facebook, Vimeo bans 'Sayed Hasan' channel & Nasrallah's videos

vimeo banned video
'Sayed Hasan' channel censored for the umpteenth time

On February 28, 2020, Vimeo arbitrarily deleted my channel 'Sayed Hasan' which, since the deletion of my Youtube channel in December 2017 (followed by my Facebook pages in May 2019), published my French subtitled videos — extracts from speeches from Hassan Nasrallah, Ali Khamenei, Vladimir Putin, Bashar al-Assad, alternative anti-imperialist documentaries, Al-Mayadeen or Russian TV News Bulletins, etc. Thus, two years and two months of work, 400 videos posted and 600,000 views, which is not negligible in view of the fact that Vimeo is marginal vis-a-vis the giants Youtube or Facebook and their quasi-monopoly, went up in smoke.

This is not Vimeo's first act of censorship. In June 2019, the Project Veritas account was banned following the publication of its exclusive investigation into Google's ideological censorship, the first part of which I captioned.

And most recently, in April 2020, at the heart of the coronavirus pandemic, Vimeo censored a documentary denouncing the influence of lobbies on the World Health Organization (WHO).

Comment: Other examples of Vimeo buckling to pressure:

Media is bashing Russia for low Covid death rate because it exposes fake numbers in the West

hannity fox news covid-19

Aint that the truth!
Having one of the lowest coronavirus-related mortality rates in the world, Russia still lags behind over a dozen countries with near-zero COVID fatality rates. That, however, was good enough to once again land Moscow firmly on the radar of Western mainstream media over its "suspiciously" successful bid to tackle the ongoing pandemic.

"In the past several days there have been news reports in Western media accusing Russia of under-reporting deaths in the country due to the coronavirus epidemic", says Gilbert Doctorow, an independent political analyst based in Brussels. "In particular, I can point to articles in the New York Times and in the Financial Times. With respect to the New York Times, the piquant title given to one respective article pointing to a 'Coronavirus Mystery' - is fully in line with the daily dose of anti-Russian propaganda that this most widely read American newspaper has been carrying on for years now."

Doctorow recollects that "a couple of weeks ago the same paper carried an article by one of its veteran science journalists accusing President Putin of using the coronavirus to undermine American science, and medicine in particular."


Comment: Actually, that is kind of what Putin's Russia has done... and that's a good thing! By reporting Covid-related deaths more accurately, the Russians are exposing the West's fake numbers...


Citing the allegations put forward by the Financial Times that Russian deaths from the virus could be 70% higher than the official number, Doctorow highlights that even if that were true, it does nothing to change the bigger picture.

Comment: Part of the invective against China is due to American complicity in leaking the virus. When the Chinese government in early March began spreading their theory that it leaked from Fort Detrick, the Western media went into overdrive to 'blame China'.

Gates And The Population Control Grid

The takeover of public health that we have documented in How Bill Gates Monopolized Global Health and the remarkably brazen push to vaccinate everyone on the planet that we have documented in Bill Gates' Plan to Vaccinate the World was not, at base, about money. The unimaginable wealth that Gates has accrued is now being used to purchase something much more useful: control. Control not just of the global health bodies that can coordinate a worldwide vaccination program, or the governments that will mandate such an unprecedented campaign, but control over the global population itself.
