A view outside the home in Salisbury of Sergei Skripal Inset: (L) Sergei Skripal (R) Yulia Skripal
The Sunday Times reports that former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter have moved to New Zealand under new identities. However, his niece in Russia believes it is all a distraction and that they are still in the UK.

The whereabouts of Sergei and Yulia Skripal have remained unknown since they were discharged from hospital after surviving a poisoning by a toxic chemical, which the UK authorities branded Novichok, in Salisbury in March 2018.

An unnamed senior British government official has confirmed to the Sunday Times that the father and daughter at the heart of one of the biggest scandals between London and Moscow have spent more than a year in an MI6 safe house before being given new identities and moved to New Zealand so that they could start a new life there.

However, the ex-double agent's niece, Viktoria Skripal, who lives in Russia, said that she didn't trust the report at all.

Comment: Might putting the Skripals 'on ice' so to speak have anything to do with hiding a potential connection to the Democrat coup attempt? Getting rid of the loose ends, and bashing Russia as a bonus?

Israeli strategic advisor predicts Mossad head Yossi Cohen will be next Likud leader - because he's a psychopath?

Strategic advisor Ronen Tzur, who advised Benny Gantz in the recent election campaigns, is convinced of the identity of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's successor.

Speaking in an interview with the Yediot Aharonot newspaper, Tzur was asked what will happen in the Likud after the Netanyahu era, and replied, "The next Likud leader will be the head of the Mossad, Yossi Cohen."

Asked why Cohen and not Gideon Sa'ar or Yuli Edelstein, he replied, "In order reach a leadership position in Israel, you need two qualities: charm and cruelty. Without the combination of both, you cannot be elected."


Comment: Those happen to be two key features of psychopathy, which explains a lot.


"And Yossi Cohen - I don't know if he is doing it, because I don't know him - but he's built in such a way that his abilities to be charming are spoken of extensively, and in his abilities to be cruel, he overpowers all other candidates. And when he concludes his service - and if he doesn't have things that will get in his way, he'll be a very serious candidate," Tzur predicted.

President Trump announced Sunday the National Guard would withdraw from Washington, D.C., saying that "everything is under perfect control" following nearly two weeks of peaceful protests and violent rioting and looting in response to the death of George Floyd.

"I have just given an order for our National Guard to start the process of withdrawing from Washington, D.C., now that everything is under perfect control," Trump tweeted. "They will be going home, but can quickly return, if needed. Far fewer protesters showed up last night than anticipated!"


Unveiling the newly minted "Black Lives Matter Plaza" just steps from the White House, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser said Friday she would evict the National Guard from hotels, citing a "budgetary issue."

In response, Trump tweeted: "The incompetent Mayor of Washington, D.C., @MayorBowser, who's [sic] budget is totally out of control and is constantly coming back to us for 'handouts', is now fighting with the National Guard, who saved her from great embarrassment over the last number of nights.

"If she doesn't treat these men and women well, then we'll bring in a different group of men and women!" he said.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Sunday his intentions to defund the NYPD amid protests following the death of George Floyd.

De Blasio took to Twitter at 11:20 a.m. saying: "This morning we committed to move resources from the NYPD to youth and social services as part of our City's budget. Our young people need to be reached, not policed. We can do this AND keep our city safe."

Comment: Is Mayor de Blasio grandstanding for votes and headlines or is he intent on this pursuit as stated? Clearly the NYPD will have something to say about any funding reallocation; the minimum effect downsizes its forces. If police are not on the job, it paves the way for Martial Law to be imposed by the military to exercise control over the public - an intended end result?

President Donald Trump has ridiculed Bush-era Secretary of State Colin Powell, calling him a "real stiff" responsible for the "disastrous Middle East Wars," after Powell joined a group of military officials in criticizing Trump.

Appearing on CNN on Sunday, Powell accused Trump of drifting "away from" the Constitution, after the president threatened to deploy the US military to quell violent unrest in the US' major cities. Powell's criticism echoes the words of a number of former military personnel, including former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, who compared Trump to Hitler in a diatribe published last week by the Atlantic.

UK gov's willfully ignorant scientific advisor claims lock down should have happened sooner, and be for longer

Britain's failure to impose a nationwide lockdown to tackle the spread of the coronavirus sooner has cost many lives, one of the government's scientific advisers said on Sunday.

Britain is one of the worst-hit countries in the world, with a death toll of more than 50,000 from COVID-19, according to a Reuters tally this week based on official sources.

Critics from a broad spectrum including medical professionals, scientists and lawmakers, say the government has botched its response to the outbreak by being too slow in imposing crucial measures such as the lockdown and protecting the elderly in care homes.

Comment: Of much more concern than the claimed coronavirus deaths - totaling less than the average flu season - are the deaths caused by hospitals not taking in patients in need of critical care; the elderly that were left to die while those hospitals lay empty; as well as the as yet incalculable destruction to the economy, with a million unemployed and thousands of independent businesses going bankrupt as well as the surge in mental illness, suicide, and substance dependence - to name but a few effects of the tyrannical and unjustified lockdown. These facts are available to anyone wishing to get to the truth of the matter. And with that in mind, this government advisor should be sacked immediately for his complete incompetency and the danger he poses to society holding a position of such influence.

As George Floyd protests grip America, the mask of free liberal democracy is slipping

What's happening in the US is a head-on collision between the story the establishment tells Americans about their country, and the reality. This disparity has been stretched to breaking point.

I have a bedtime story for you.
Once upon a time a brave nation liberated itself from the tyranny of the British Empire and birthed freedom and democracy into the world. With the help of heroes like the abolitionists, Abraham Lincoln, Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X it overcame systemic racial inequality, and now it is a shining exemplar of human rights, the respected friend of free democracies around the world and the hated foe of all tyrannical regimes. It is not without its faults and its past mistakes, but it is the best leader and protector of the liberal world order that we could possibly hope to have.
I also have a waking up story for you.
Once upon a time a nation rose to prominence after emerging unscathed from two world wars which damaged the infrastructure of its competitors. The world's major power players quickly coalesced around this new superpower and began maneuvering other nations into a tight empire-like alliance with it. After a long and gruelling Cold War, this empire succeeded in toppling the world's only other superpower and began working to absorb all other nations into alliance with it. If nations resisted, they were subverted, sabotaged and attacked until they either collapsed or allowed themselves to be absorbed into the imperial blob...

Fauci and Coronavirus task force vanish as Trump urges America to reopen

The White House's coronavirus task force has all but vanished from public view as President Donald Trump pushes Americans to put the outbreak behind them and resume normal social and economic life.

The task force was for several weeks a staple of Trump's response to the pandemic. From March 4 until late April, the panel held nearly daily, televised briefings at the White House, many headlined by Trump. Its medical experts fanned out across TV networks to share guidance on curbing the spread of the virus.

The most recent briefing was April 27, when Trump predicted the U.S. would suffer between 60,000 and 70,000 deaths from the outbreak. At least 107,000 Americans have died.

"I think we've done a great job," he said at the time.

The task force is now reduced to weekly closed-door meetings with Vice President Mike Pence. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert in the government, hasn't spoken publicly at the White House since April 29. In his last task force news conference, a week earlier, he cautioned that the country must "proceed in a very careful, measured way" to reopen.

Comment: The president is 'touting progress restoring the U.S. economy'. Is this is a bad thing in the midst of civil unrest all over the country, symptomatic of a societal backlash for the latest downgrade to normal human structure and balance? Societies are complicated and aspects are interwoven. Many threads were suddenly pulled without effective preventatives to consequences. Are we not allowed to consider 'the needs of the many'?

Tucker Carlson spot on: Blasts doctors for condemning anti-lockdown protests while endorsing Black Lives Matter protests

Not all protests are equal. Fox News' Tucker Carlson has excoriated the medical establishment for giving its blessing to Black Lives Matter protesters, having condemned the anti-lockdown protests just weeks earlier.

The coronavirus pandemic left in its wake an unprecedented crackdown on civil liberties and freedom of movement in the US. Medical experts backed the lockdown measures, arguing that public health trumped normality, and they said putting the brakes on the US economy was necessary to stave off literally millions of deaths.

"They were lying. We always thought they were lying and now we know for sure," Fox News host Tucker Carlson declared on Friday. "Because today we have an open letter signed by more that 1,200 doctors, professionals and public health officials. And it explains that the riots you're watching must be allowed, but any other demonstration... must be suppressed."


Comment: More and more it is becoming apparent that agenda is the control mechanism dictating public thinking, reasoning, opinion. And, sadly, it mostly works.
