...this is astounding. I've been following politics since the early 80's, and have never seen anything like this.
Me either, but I have people readily tell me that there is zero evidence of Trump doing anything but draining the republican swamp while the democrats will handily win seats in the midterms and put an end to life as we know it in the US. I have to wonder, why would overturning this travel ban be so important? Surely it can't be for the publicly stated reasons to warrant such actions. Who or what is not getting into the US anymore and is putting a real crimp in someones plans as a result? Is it also why their is such opposition to the wall? Something is drying up from all of this and sending certain people into fits. I wonder what it is.
Don, you know this stuff better than I do, and I'm sure your questions were rhetorical in nature, so my response isn't directed so much to you...but... The safety, security and stability that President Trump has brought to the U.S. is a big thorn in the side of George Soros, and a blow to the NWO agenda. The NWO can only be brought about when countries and people are in chaos. They love illegal immigrants, racial tensions, and gender issues for the problems they cause; that's why so many people at these liberal rallies are actually funded by Soros. I suppose that they would also benefit from the threats that terrorists from the Middle East would bring to the U.S. And once the world descends into chaos, there is the obvious need for population and birth control from the national/international level. It really is an evil agenda and it is surprising to me that so many people (upper level government) have bought into it hook, line, and sinker. These elites must have been promised money, power, and protection (in all those elite bunkers). But back to the article that ETA posted, it really is unbelievable that ex CIA would file to have the travel ban lifted. Crazy stuff.
This isn't so much related to President Trump, but I noticed something different when filling out a college form for my son yesterday. On the section on race, it had about 8-10 different choices. When it came to white though it said "white (including Middle Eastern descent)". Is that new to anyone else? Maybe I'm being silly, but it seemed to me like an attempt to normalize the islamitization of Western countries.
I'm guessing that this just an example of the Dumbing-Down of Education and Political Correctness Run-Amok. In a simpler time not long ago, we had three Races: Negroid, Caucasoid and Mongoloid. In this simpler time Caucasian included many Brown People in/from Europe, North Africa and, as far East as, India. Now we have eight choices for Race and .. How Many!!!?? ... choices for "Sexual Orientation"!!???!! I am surprised that your example sez: (including Middle Eastern descent)! .... since the US/EU Political Left has included people from there (except Jews) as a protected and cherished "Victim Group" class and the above does not comport with their War on Whites and White Privilege Campaign?? Just another SIGN that Satanic Forces are On the march!! GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!
Another "providential" opening for Trump (and America)? Trump Wants to Reshape the Courts. A Liberal Judge Unwittingly Helped Him. © J. Emilio Flores for The New York Times Judge Stephen Reinhardt was seen as a major influence on the liberal wing of the Ninth Circuit and a talented and articulate legal protector of liberal views. WASHINGTON — In the spring of 2014, a friend tried to nudge Judge Stephen Reinhardt, then an 83-year-old liberal stalwart on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, into stepping aside from full-time duties so President Barack Obama could nominate a successor. The friend, Erwin Chemerinsky, now the dean at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, said he had gently suggested to Judge Reinhardt that he and another longtime liberal figure on the San Francisco-based court make way while Democrats still had the power to assure that jurists with a similar philosophy would take their place. Judge Reinhardt swiftly rejected that notion and stayed on. Now Judge Reinhardt, who died this past week at age 87, could very well be replaced by a nominee chosen by President Trump. The president suddenly has a chance to seat a judge with a markedly different judicial outlook, giving conservatives a greater voice on the liberal-leaning court, which has been a particular thorn in Mr. Trump’s side. The president’s opening does not end there. The vacancy is one of eight on the appeals court, which has 29 active judges — a vivid illustration of the larger opportunity for Mr. Trump to put an enduring stamp on the makeup of the federal judiciary nationwide by installing candidates of a more conservative bent. “With a Republican Senate and no possibility of a filibuster, he can have whoever he wants on the circuit court,” Mr. Chemerinsky said. “It will dramatically change the Ninth Circuit.” Currently, there are almost 150 federal district and appeals court vacancies around the country, a number that has risen from just over 100 when Mr. Trump took office, despite his notable success at filling openings. Democrats’ weakening of the filibuster against nominees in 2013 and a recent Republican decision to limit the veto power of home-state senators over judicial candidates have left few avenues to impede Mr. Trump and his Senate allies in their determination to fill judicial openings. Last month, the president promised an intense push. “We’re going all out,” Mr. Trump told a cheering audience in Ohio, declaring that his ability to fill scores of open slots was a “gift from heaven,” as well as “world-changing, country-changing, U.S.A.-changing.” Mr. Trump chastised the Ninth Circuit last year for its ruling against his travel ban, and for a district court judge’s move to block enforcement of a threat by his administration to withhold federal aid from so-called sanctuary cities. “Ridiculous rulings,” he railed on Twitter. “See you in the Supreme Court!” MORE: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...-unwittingly-helped-him/ar-AAvAC0X?li=BBnb7Kz
Yes, it is the temptations and trappings of this world which people fight tooth and nail to preserve their own safety and security even when it is at the expense of the greater good. One has to wonder what exactly these people stand to lose.
So much for the saintly Putin's "influence" on Assad. Will enable anything to keep the goal of foothold in ME: Trump threatens "Animal Assad," Putin over alleged chemical attack in Syria ✔@realDonaldTrump Many dead, including women and children, in mindless CHEMICAL attack in Syria. Area of atrocity is in lockdown and encircled by Syrian Army, making it completely inaccessible to outside world. President Putin, Russia and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad. Big price.......to pay. Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK! Syrian opposition activists and rescuers said Sunday that a poison gas attack on the rebel-held town of Douma near the capital of Damascus killed at least 40 people. The alleged attack has been denied by the Syrian and Russian governments. Russia is Syria's closest ally and has a major military presence in the country. ..... First responders said they found families suffocated in their homes and shelters, with foam on their mouths. The opposition-linked Syrian Civil Defense were able to document 42 fatalities but were impeded from searching further by strong odors that gave their rescuers difficulties breathing, said Siraj Mahmoud, a spokesman for the group, which is known as the White Helmets. "Open area immediately for medical help and verification. Another humanitarian disaster for no reason whatsoever. SICK!" the president urged. Mr. Trump later blamed his predecessor President Barack Obama for not taking action against the Assad regime earlier in the civil war. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/syria-...sad-putin-chemical-weapons-strike-2018-04-08/
Does anyone else find it a bit "coincidental" that a week ago Trump starts talking about pulling out of Syria and *presto* chemical attack? Since when has Trump telegraphed the US military and its movements? Just sayin.
Oh, and then a little fire at the Trump building killing someone? A message being sent perhaps? Another coincidence surely.
I find it troubling because I still think the deep state is behind these provocations and false flags. I don't trust that it is Assad or the Russians who did it quite honestly. I think it might be a set up. Maybe the Deep state wants to pull us into a war--a big war.
A "silent" deadly coup/counter coup is underway. We must pray for Pres Trump and the white hats. Pray pray pray.
As if Assad gassed his own people including kids. This is so far fetched only a fool would believe it. If Trump isn't smart or wise enough to see something this obvious the world is in serious trouble.
I think there is no doubt this is a trick of the deep state or who ever is determined to completely crush Syria and prolong and enhance this war.
Trump has surrounded himself with warmongering Neocons, so this was to be expected. Trump should have never surrounded himself with so many Neocons; the buck stops with Trump. The Russians have stated that they will respond with force to any attack on Assad. The Russian Ministry of Defense has said that they "are ready to employ extreme measures against US Navy in case of any other cruise missile attack against Syrian Military bases." Putin is not going to be able to moderate the Kremlin hardliners if America once again bombs Syria on a pack of lies. This is the closest we've been to a real war with Russia since the Cuban Missile Crisis. And to think it is all happening on Divine Mercy Sunday. So sad! If a real war breaks out between the West and Russia over this latest Neocon false flag, then I can see a scenario developing where the Pope will have to go to Moscow to mediate a peace. Let's pray it doesn't get to that point but right now Team Neocon is drunk on hubris and war.
They did it....just like the time before with its proof. That's pretty much the only weaponry Assad has and Russia is still catching up and will cooperate in order to keep the dreamed of goal of foothold in the Middle East. There's a long history of Assad gassing his people. I believe this report below relates to last year's chemical attack....just continues. Putin is finding there is a cost to his goals....and Assad is not cooperating totally with him in order to keep control. But is Putin the man who could help stop these atrocities taking place? According to the Lowy Institute’s Middle East expert Dr Rodger Shanahan it’s unrealistic to expect Vladimir Putin alone to stop Assad. While noting Russia and Syria’s relationship extended back decades, Dr Shanahan said the situation in Syria and her relationship with her allies was extremely complex. “Russia has and always will support Assad,” he said. Putin relied on Assad and Syria for “geopolitical leverage” and influence in the region and that was something Russia wasn’t going to let go of in a hurry. Dr Shanahan said Turkey’s interference and support for Syrian opposition groups was further complicating the issue, while ally Iran also played a role in supporting Assad. “It’s not just Putin, it’s not just Assad, it’s Iran as well — it’s a three-legged stool,” he said. “Putin is committed to Syria and see is in his best interests to remain there.” He said while Putin and Assad were allies, the Russian leader didn’t have so much influence as to make him stand down. ...... Damascus officially joined the Chemical Weapons Convention and turned over its declared chemical arsenal in 2013, as part of a deal to avert US military action. That agreement came after hundreds of people — up to 1429 according to a US intelligence report — were killed in chemical weapons strikes allegedly carried out by government troops east and southwest of Damascus. But there have been repeated allegations of chemical weapons use since, with a UN-led investigation pointing the finger at the regime for at least three chlorine attacks in 2014 and 2015. The army again denied using chemical weapons on Tuesday, insisting “it has never used them, any time, anywhere, and will not do so in the future”. ==================================================== and this: An 'infantile argument': Experts pour cold water on Russia's 'fanciful' explanation for Syrian gas attack Apr. 5, 2017, 10:28 AM Russia's government said Wednesday that the toxic gas that killed 83 people and wounded at least 150 in northern Syria the day before was released accidentally when a Syrian air strike hit a "terrorist warehouse" containing "toxic substances." "According to the objective data of the Russian airspace control, Syrian aviation struck a large terrorist warehouse near Khan Shaykhun that housed a warehouse making bombs, with toxic substances," the Russian defense ministry said in a statement. "The arsenal of chemical weapons" was destined for fighters in Iraq, the ministry added. Experts have cast doubt on Russia's explanation for Syria's worst chemical weapons attack since 2013, when Syrian President Bashar Assad — an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin — is believed to have used sarin gas to kill as many as 1,400 people in the outskirts of Syria's capital, Damascus. Assad still denies responsibility for that attack. A civil defense member breathes through an oxygen mask, after what rescue workers described as a suspected gas attack in the town of Khan Shaykhun in rebel-held Idlib in Syria, April 4, 2017. Thomson Reuters Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a chemical-weapons expert, told the BBC on Wednesday that Russia's claim was "fanciful" and that it would be "unsustainable" for a nerve agent like Sarin gas to spread as far as it did as the result of a bombing. Instead, the US has determined that Syrian warplanes dropped the chemical weapons, which caused injuries and deaths that the World Health Organization said were "consistent with exposure to organophosphorus chemicals, a category of chemicals that includes nerve agents." British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said "all the evidence I have seen suggests this was the Assad regime ... using illegal weapons on their own people." The commander of the Free Idlib Army rebel brigade, Hasan Haj Ali, told Reuters that "everyone saw the plane while it was bombing with gas." Bellingcat founder Eliot Higgins, who has covered the Syrian civil war extensively, poured more cold water on the Russian claim early Wednesday morning. Higgins added that other images from the chemical attack were posted online at 2:28 a.m. ET, two hours before the air strike was said to hit the chemical warehouse, which Russia said occurred at 4:30 a.m. ET. The Conflict Intelligence Team, a nonprofit founded by Russian blogger and activist Ruslan Leviev to monitor the events in eastern Ukraine, added that while "Russian media did report repeated use of chemical weapons by rebels in Aleppo" in late 2016, "each time the weapon allegedly used was chlorine" — not sarin. The Assad regime has been accused of dropping chlorine bombs on civilians in Idlib province at least twice between 2014 and 2015. http://www.businessinsider.com/russia-explanation-for-syria-chemical-weapons-attack-2017-4
How does Assad or Russia for that matter benefit in any way shape or form by using chemical weapons on his own people when he knows well the UN and every nation in the world will put forth troops to oust him from power? Can they or Russia for that matter believe they stand a chance of defeating us if we truly commit to ousting Assad? It's the exact same song and dance as GWI we are looking at played out in yet another country except this time the stakes are far higher. We have the US, Russia, Turkey, Iran, France now, and Israel running sorties there whenever they think things are not going as planned. Its the exact same response every single time. A massive humanitarian tragedy and outcry followed by cruise missiles raining down and another leader is ousted from power and absolute carnage left in its wake. Funded of course by the US taxpayer. Did anyone see John McCain's statement today regarding this? He is trying to shame Trump into carrying out their plans by blaming him for telegraphing his intentions to pull troops from Syria.
Russia helped relocate about @3,500 people/rebels from the E. Ghouta a few days before this chemical attack but I believe that there is still @350,000 people being starved to death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rif_Dimashq_offensive_(February–April_2018) [Douma section] I think there are several possibilities for this attack, 1) Russia, Syria and Turkey believe that a large portion of those people are terrorists/rebels and I think that they probably feel that if some innocents are killed while they are exterminating terrorists/rebels that's how war works OR 2) The terrorists/rebels dropped the chemical weapons so that the US comes in and defends the innocents that were killed there by doing their dirty work in their fight against Syria OR 3) There were really no chemical weapons dropped at all and it was just an act to look like innocents were killed so something is done before more people starve to death OR, OR, OR ???? It's all crazy either way and we may never know what actually happened and our government is in a pickle once again to make a tough decision. And btw hopefully no one is actually listening to McCain anymore. PS- I think Pres. Trump may have stated that he wants our troops out of there because he knows that this is going to go very bad, very soon but not necessarily that the USA will be the cause.
Not a shred of real evidence that Assad did this or the previous attack. But the demonic Team Neocon needs no evidence: guilty until proven guilty is their motto. We all know who started this carnage in Syria: Team Neocon started it under Obama by covertly arming known terrorists calling themselves “Free Syrian Army” or “Syrian Rebels” or “ISIS”. All the same group of terrorists really who took the road from Libya to Damascus when the prisons in Libya and Egypt were opened following the overthrow of Gaddafi and Mubarak. There’s also strong reason to believe Israel and Saudi Arabia have had a hand in supporting these demonic rebels in order to covertly overthrow Assad. But those who have covertly supported the “Syrian Rebels” are going to be justly chastised by a Just God for their crimes against the Syrian people and Assad. The Catholic bishops of Syria fully support Assad and have called the “Rebels” what they really are from day one: terrorists. By trying to topple Assad, Trump has proven to be a Snake and no better than Obama and it would appear Trump puts Israel and Saudi Arabia First and America dead last. Sad!
I think Assad and Putin are not that stupid. Such a thing would make no sense to them, at a time when the rebels in this area are defeated, want to withdraw and the order is reasonably restored. Only the Islamist rebels could benefit from this. The same in 2013. Just as UN-inspectors were on-site, Assad is said to have used poisongas. How stupid should he be? [Pentagon: No Evidence Assad Used Poison Gas on His People: https://www.strategic-culture.org/n...ence-assad-used-poison-gas-on-his-people.html ] Road to war is becoming more and more visible. If there is a direct confrontation between Russia and France/US/others in Syria, a transfer to the European continent is no longer utopian. Could be the realization of the predicted. Although it means hard times, frankly, I hope so.
