McAleenan: Trump's Tactics Worked, Brought Mexico to the Table Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan during a hearing before the Senate (Win McNamee/Getty Images) By Cathy Burke | Sunday, 09 June 2019 11:44 AM Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Kevin McAleenan on Sunday credited President Donald Trump’s threat to slap tariffs on Mexico with bringing it “to the table with real proposals” to crack down on illegal immigration. In an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” McAleenan said the proof of success was nearly immediate. "People can disagree with the tactics,” he said. “Mexico came to the table with real ...
The Trust Project: Big Media and Silicon Valley’s Weaponized Algorithms Silence Dissent

Given the Trust Project’s rich-get-richer impact on the online news landscape, it is not surprising to find that it is funded by a confluence of tech oligarchs and powerful forces with a clear stake in controlling the flow of news. After the failure of Newsguard — the news rating system backed by a cadre of prominent neoconservative personalities — to gain traction among American tech and social media companies, another organization has quietly stepped in to direct the news algorithms of tech giants such as Google, Facebook, and Microsoft. Though different from Newsguard, this group, known as “The Trust Project,” has a similar goal of restoring “trust” ...

Travel to Cuba Falls Victim to John Bolton’s Wrath by Medea Benjamin June 7, 2019 John Bolton hates the governments of Venezuela, Cuba and Nicaragua, calling them the “troika of tyranny” and the “three stooges of socialism,” and is determined to use his time as National Security Advisor to eliminate the vestiges of socialism in our hemisphere. He has openly stated that the 1823 Monroe Doctrine is “alive and well,” conveying that the United States will dictate the terms of governance in the Western Hemisphere, by military force if necessary. Furious that he has been unable to successfully orchestrate a coup in Venezuela, Bolton is now lashing out at ...

US carrier in Persian Gulf a clear signal to Iran 14 hrs ago ABOARD THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN — Under a starry sky, U.S. Navy fighter jets catapulted off the aircraft carrier's deck and flew north over the darkened waters of the northern Arabian Sea, a unmistaken signal to Iran that the foremost symbol of the American military's global reach is back in its neighborhood, perhaps to stay. The USS Abraham Lincoln , with its contingent of Navy destroyers and cruisers and a fighting force of about 70 aircraft, is the centerpiece of the Pentagon's response to what it calls Iranian threats to attack U.S. forces or commercial shipping in the Persian Gulf region. In recent years, ...

“The first step in liquidating a people is to erase its memory. Destroy its books, its culture, its history. Then have somebody write new books, manufacture a new culture, invent a new history. Before long that nation will begin to forget what it is and what it was…. The struggle of man against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting.” Milan Kundera Milan Kundera is a Czech and French writer of Czech origin who has lived in exile in France since 1975, where he became a naturalized citizen in 1981. He is best known for The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, and The Joke.
MOSCOW UNVEILS ANTI-UAV DEVICE WHICH ‘FORCES’ DRONES TO LAND

Russia’s Emergencies Ministry showed off a new device which intercepts and ‘grounds’ menacing drones that disrupt rescue operations in disaster areas. The portable device was shown at a large-scale exercise during an international disaster response expo near Moscow on Saturday, local media reported. The technology allows responders to intercept any “unauthorized” UAVs operating in disaster areas and bring them into “forced landings.” The presence of civilian drones during disasters has long been a problem for response teams since they risk disrupting the work of relief aircraft, like air tankers water-bombing or medevac helicopters. The reports did not ...

Thank The Red Army For D-Day Victory

The propaganda about World War II continues without relent. D-Day is the most egregious example. I wrote this piece last year from Normandy. It is as valid and pertinent this year as last and bears no improvement that I can see. Questioning the war’s great power politics in no way lessens the glory and courage of the men who fought on both sides. As a former solider, I salute them. But we must not ignore the truth. On my many walking visits to the vast Normandy battlefield in France, I kept recalling the ever so wise dictum of Prussia’s great monarch, Frederick the Great: ‘he who defends everything, defends nothing.’ On this 74th anniversary of the D-Day landings, ...

Preliminary Probe Into UAE Tanker Attack Blames A "State Actor", But Doesn't Mention Iran
Post Date: 2019-06-07 18:01:41 by Horse

A preliminary probe has concluded that a "state actor" was likely behind the sabotaging of four oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates in May, according to RT. This comes after the United States put the blame "squarely" on Iran. Preliminary findings from the investigation, which was jointly concluded by the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Norway, describe the attack as a "complex effort that required significant resources". The findings do not make mention of Iran. Investigators instead argue that attackers that inflicted damage on the tankers required a "high degree [of] sophistication," precise intelligence, and "expert navigation of ...
Mueller Caught In Another Deception; Key 'Russia Link' Exposed As Informant For US, Ukraine

A Ukrainian businessman painted in the Mueller report as a sinister link to Russia was actually a "sensitive" intelligence source for the US State Department who informed on Ukrainian and Russian issues - and passed messages between the Washington and Kiev, according to The Hill's John Solomon. Konstantin Kilimnik, who worked for Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, was described on page 6 of the Mueller report as having "ties to Russian intelligence" - and was cast in a sinister light as a potential threat to democracy. Mueller completely omitted the fact that Kilimnik was working as an informant and intermediary between America and Ukraine, and subsequently ...
Uber Data Reveals Motoring Slower Than Walking In Many Cities

Ride hailing behemoth Uber has revealed what many have long suspected, that motorists in major cities such as London often crawl along no faster than pedestrians. The company has released Uber Movement Speeds, an online and downloadable treasure trove of actual travel times and speeds. It shows that motorists queuing to get through Trafalgar Square rarely exceed four miles per hour, and on Northumberland Avenue motorists do not average more than three miles per hour. It is therefore often slightly faster to walk than drive in London but, for true urban speed, it’s fastest to cycle.

No, this is not at all an endorsement of the apocalyptic scenarios of AOC or that famous young Swedish climate expert, Greta. It is, however, a look at unusual weather disasters in several key growing regions from the USA to Australia, the Philippines and beyond that could dramatically affect food availability and prices in the coming year. That in turn could have major political implications depending on how the rest of the growing season develops.

Understanding the Failure of U.S. Foreign Policy: The Albright Doctrine
Post Date: 2019-06-07 07:43:48 by Ada

Albright typifies the arrogance and hawkishness of Washington blob. How to describe U.S. foreign policy over the last couple of decades? Disastrous comes to mind. Arrogant and murderous also seem appropriate. Since 9/11, Washington has been extraordinarily active militarily—invading two nations, bombing and droning several others, deploying special operations forces in yet more countries, and applying sanctions against many. Tragically, the threat of Islamist violence and terrorism only have metastasized. Although Al Qaeda lost its effectiveness in directly plotting attacks, it continues to inspire national offshoots. Moreover, while losing its physical “caliphate” the ...

Among the 11 tons of recovered trash from the 45-day project are food wrappers, cans, bottles and empty oxygen cylinders, Tourism Department official Danduraj Ghimire said. Cleaning up the mountain has been extremely difficult due to unpredictable weather conditions, inaccessibility of certain areas and the inherent dangers involved. ...

The Kurdish separatist militia SDF and its affiliates from PYD and Asayish are burning wheat fields in the territories under their occupation northeast of Syria. Some of the most fertile lands as well as territories rich with oil are under the occupation of the US-sponsored separatist SDF militia. The US and its illegal International Coalition of evil states are preventing the Syrian state from restoring the country from terrorists and separatists. A video widely spread on social media shows a vehicle of the Kurdish Asayish thugs, the security arm of the PYD and SDF Kurdish militia, driving through a wheat field in the city of Qamishli northeast of the country with strong flames of fire ...

Joe Biden made one confession that has everyone talking treason Former Vice President Joe Biden is in the Presidential race. And in his first week on the trail, he already may have made a career-killing mistake. That’s because Biden made one confession that has everyone talking treason. Biden began his time on the campaign trail slamming President Trump’s trade policies. Trump won the election by promising to get tough on China and the practice of Beijing ripping off America’s jobs and wealth. Biden claimed China was no threat to America and Trump exaggerated the danger to the American economy. Breitbart reports: "Former Vice President Joe Biden dismissed the ...
New ‘Call Of Duty’ Encourages Support For The White Helmets

The official trailer for the latest Call of Duty was released a few days ago, and it features the Syria narrative management operation known as the White Helmets depicted in heroic roles. Characters wearing the organization’s signature headgear are seen clearing rubble in part of the trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. To give you an idea how popular the CoD franchise is, as of this writing the official Youtube version of the trailer has 27 million views. To be clear, the characters in the game are most certainly intended to resemble the White Helmets of Syria, and their presence there is most certainly intended to increase support for and interest in that group. How do I ...
RT and Others Should Stop Printing Articles About the “Dollar Dump”
Post Date: 2019-06-06 08:04:57 by Ada

I like RT. But like Zero Hedge and other slightly eccentric alternative media sites, they have this obsession with the idea that the US economy relies on the dollar being the global reserve currency. They print these sorts of articles daily. In point of actual fact, it doesn’t matter if the dollar is the global reserve currency. I mean, I guess it’s good, because it weakens competitors, but it doesn’t strengthen the US economy in any way other than that it weakens competitors. And secondarily, it is a symbol of US power. On the flip side, countries like China have a massive benefit by not being the global reserve currency because they are able to manipulate the value of ...

Amid somber D-Day commemorations, Trump keeps stirring the pot By Eli Stokols, Los Angeles Times 12 hrs ago Trump joins world leaders for 75th D-Day anniversary SHANNON, Ireland — Before heading to the first of a series of D-Day commemorations Wednesday, President Donald Trump attempted to use a television interview with a friendly journalist to clean up a couple of messes he had made, only to create new controversy later by wading into the touchy issue of Ireland’s border with the United Kingdom. In an interview with Piers Morgan, the British journalist and longtime Trump friend, the president partially walked back his criticism of the American-born Duchess of ...
