After Gun Ban, Euro Gov’t Begins Confiscating Luxury Goods By Erin Coates March 1, 2018 at 4:25pm After citizens are not guaranteed by law the right to privately own a gun, one city in the Netherlands is taking government power one step further by confiscating luxury goods if it is unclear how they were paid for. “They are often young guests who consider themselves untouchable. We’re going to undress them on the street,” Rotterdam police chief Frank Paauw said to De Telegraaf. This new policing approach is part of the Rotterdam police and the Public Prosecution Service’s fight against “undermining.” The agents are reportedly trained to recognize ...

Italy Election Preview: Here Are The Main Questions On Investors' Minds Until Trump's Thursday trade war announcement, and last night's shock statement by Kuroda previewing the end of the BOJ's QE, the single biggest event risk was the Italian election this Sunday, March 4 (together with the SPD "grand coalition" referendum held concurrently in Germany whose outcome could seal Merkel's fate). And yet, ahead of the election, investors are feeling especially complacent, with no notable moves in terms of Italy-specific risk assets because, as Reuters noted, "the economy is strengthening and anti-euro sentiment is waning in the single-currency ...
Putin’s State of the Union

Putin has given a remarkable address to the Federal Assembly, the Russian People, and the peoples of the world. In his speech, Putin revealed the existence of new Russian nuclear weapons that make it indisputably clear that Russia has vast nuclear superiority over the United States and its pathetic NATO vassal states. In view of the Russian capabilities, it is not clear that the US any longer qualifies as a superpower. There is little doubt in my mind that if the crazed neoconservatives and military/security complex in Washington had these weapons and Russia did not, Washington would launch an attack on Russia. Putin, however, declared that Russia has no territorial ambitions, no ...

With No Trump-Russia Evidence, Rep. Schiff Now Blames… Obama? California Rep. Adam Schiff, who is also a chairman for the House Intelligence Committee, recently explained how the Obama administration’s inaction in cyberspace emboldened Russian hackers to target the 2016 election, reports The American Mirror. The anti-Trump Democrat did something shocking while discussing national security and global challenges at a Council on Foreign Relations event last week when he places blame for Russian meddling on Obama’s weak response to previous cyber attacks. “I do think though … some of the responsibility is attributed to the Obama administration for not establishing ...
Russia vows 'instant' response to nuclear attack on itself, allies

PressTV... President Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia would regard any use of nuclear weapons against its allies as a "nuclear attack" on itself and give an "instant" response. Delivering his annual state of the nation speech in Moscow on Thursday, Putin expressed concerns about the new US nuclear posture, which has lowered the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. The new American policy allows the use of nuclear weapons "in response to a conventional attack or even a cyberthreat," the Russian president said, adding, "Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons only in response to a nuclear attack or an attack with other weapons of mass ...
Anti-Russian Deployments Are Breaking the German Military. Just a Third of Major Weapons Operational

The weird combination of spending very little on their military (because they aren't really worried about a Russian invasion), AND maintaining a high pace of anti-Russian exercises and deployments (because they are pretending that they are), has left the Germans with a broken military Needless to say adventures in Syria and Afghanistan also play a role German lawmakers are set to hear about how Germany's military, the Bundeswehr, has access to less than 50 percent of many major weapons systems. The findings are the latest to underscore problems in the armed forces. Many primary weapons systems in the Bundeswehr are not available for training exercises or deployment, according ...
It's Feeling Like The 1930s In Spain And France

During the Spanish Civil War, many loyalist leaders and supporters of the Spanish Republican government fled into exile to wage their battle against the Spanish fascist dictatorship of Generalissimo Francisco Franco from abroad. 2018 is beginning to feel like 1939. After the fall of the Second Spanish Republic to Franco, who was aided by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, Spanish President Manuel Azaña and Prime Minister Juan Negrin fled to exile in France. Following the October 27, 2017 declaration of independence of Catalonia by the Catalan Parliament and the dissolution of the Catalonian government by Franco’s proto- fascist successor, Spanish Prime Minister Manuel Rajoy, key ...

Other countries have good reasons to think that Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser is vulnerable to manipulation. So folks from the United Arab Emirates, China, Israel and Mexico have reportedly targeted Jared Kushner, the man President Donald Trump assigned to bring peace to the Middle East and to overhaul the federal government, as malleable and easily manipulated. As the Washington Post put it in a scoop it published Tuesday night, foreign powers see young Jared as vulnerable because of “his complex business arrangements, financial difficulties and lack of foreign policy experience.” The Post’s reporting was sourced to current and former U.S. officials ...
Russia's patience with Ghouta militants not indefinite: Putin

PressTV... Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that his patience with militant attacks in Syria's Ghouta region is not indefinite, as terrorist groups positioned in the Damascus suburb continue to shell the capital indiscriminately. After losing most of the Syrian territories in their control, foreign-backed militants are now largely concentrated in Eastern Ghouta, causing one of the deadliest stages over the course of the years-long conflict in Syria. "As is known - in any case, we in Russia know this well enough - some shells crash even on the territory of the Russian embassy and trade mission. Are we going to tolerate this indefinitely? Of course, not," Putin ...

Poster Comment:The Cumbre Vieja volcano's west flank has separated from the main cone and slipped down several feet. This raises a real possibility that an eruption will blow off the entire side of the mountain, as happened with Mt. Saint Helens. But unlike Mt. Saint Helens, Cumbre Vieja overlooks the ocean, which means a major tsunami would be created... heading west across the Atlantic. (That tsunami would wipe out the east coast of the US.) During a Grand Solar Minimum there are increased numbers of volcanoes and earthquakes. 11 of 13 major Japanese volcanoes occurred during GSMs since 1703. Why? Because when the sun becomes less active it is less able to block cosmic rays (from ...

For the past seventeen years, the US military has been laying waste to the Muslim world in the faux `war on terrorism.’ Afghanistan, Iraq, much of Syria, Somalia, Pakistan – all have been heavily bombed.

With the nation still embroiled in the political discussion over the shooting in Parkland, Florida, one of the left’s common refrains is that the U.S. leads the world in mass shootings. This “fact” is used to advocate for an end to our Second Amendment rights. But is it a fact, really? Well, it turns out, it isn’t true at all. The U.S. does not lead the world in mass shootings. Of course, the main problem here is that there is no such thing as an “assault weapon.” The term is just a catchall phrase used to desribe a scary looking gun. It has no legal or technical definition. Take the left’s most hated gun, the AR-15, for instance. This rifle can be ...

(Official White House Photo by Shealah Craighead) It’s a scene right out of the movie Groundhog Day. Every year around this time, the administration submits its annual request to Congress to appropriate billions of dollars for America’s allies and partners in the Middle East to finance their purchase of U.S. military training and equipment. Congress rubber stamps these requests with little regard for whether this assistance ...

San Francisco’s ‘Diseased Streets’ Are Being Compared to Some of Worst Slums in the World By Joe Setyon February 21, 2018 at 6:37am A combination of discarded needles and piles of feces on the streets of San Francisco has caused least one expert to say that the city’s slums are comparable to those in developing countries. Reporters with KNTV investigated what they referred to as the “diseased streets” of the city, and found that each of the 153 downtown blocks they surveyed — an area that encompasses playgrounds, hotels and government buildings — is littered with garbage. Included in this trash were at least 100 drug needles and 300 piles ...

The deal would grant a consortium of U.S. and Europe-based ...
