A recent poll carried out by France’s Le Figaro newspaper has indicated that at least 72 percent of respondents want Syrian President Bashar Assad to remain in power.
The survey, published on Thursday, asked: “Should world powers demand Bashar Assad to leave?” At least 28 percent from 21,314 respondents have voted “Yes” so far, while the majority – 72 percent – have said “No”. 
The poll was conducted ahead of the Vienna talks, where 19 global powers gathered to find a solution for a nationwide ceasefire in Syria. The fate of Assad remained the stumbling block during discussions.
The US and its allies including Saudi Arabia repeatedly said the Syrian president, whose term expires in 2021, must resign.
“There is no way President Assad can unite and govern Syria,” US Secretary of State John Kerry said during the meeting, adding, “Syrians deserve a different choice.”
However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the Syrian people “should define the future of their country… including Assad’s fate.”
Earlier in October, a member of Moscow’s parliamentary delegation told TASS that Assad had agreed to hold preliminary elections in the country, provided the move has the people’s backing.
Syria has been caught up in a civil war since 2011, when violent protests erupted as part of the so-called Arab spring. During the turmoil, Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIL/ISIS) militants managed to capture large amounts of territory in Syria and Iraq.
On September 30, Moscow launched a military operation targeting IS positions following a formal request from Assad.

Breaking: Radioactive Landfill Leaking Hazardous Wast

Reporters ordered to fall back as leak spills 11 thousand gallons of toxic material
Breaking: Radioactive Landfill Leaking Hazardous Waste
by Lee Ann McAdoo | Infowars.com | October 27, 2015        



Infowars reporter Lee Ann McAdoo is on the scene in St. Louis as thousands of gallons of potentially hazardous waste leak from a radioactive landfill.
According to sources on the ground, the radioactive West Lake landfill is currently experiencing a 10 to 11 thousand gallon leachate leak after a break in a force main.
“Leachate is very toxic, it’s from the landfill, it’s created from the burning superfund materials and garbage…” said Dawn Chapman, a local environmental activist.
Reporters were forced to flee the area after the toxic fumes began causing respiratory distress among those around the site.
The landfill has been an area of controversy given its role as an illegal dumping ground for uranium during the Manhattan Project.

Baghdad Allows Russia to Bomb ISIL Terrorists Running From Syria Into Iraq

ISIL militants aren't going to find a safe haven from Russian airstrikes in Iraq
by Sputnik | October 25, 2015        


As Russian airstrikes push ISIL terrorists from Syria into Iraq, Moscow and Baghdad agreed to hit the militants in Iraq, said Hakem al-Zameli, the head of the Iraqi Parliament’s National Security and Defense Commission, according to Fars News Agency.
ISIL militants aren’t going to find a safe haven from Russian airstrikes in Iraq after the country’s parliament gave Russia the green light to conduct airstrikes against ISIL targets in Iraq.
“Iraq agreed with Russia, which leads the joint data center, to hit the ISIL militants heading from Syria into Iraq,” al-Zameli said, highlighting the fact that the move would also cut off ISIL supply routes from Iraq into Syria, as cited by Fars.
               The approval comes amid security coordination between the governments of Russia, Iran, Iraq and Syria — all of which seek to destroy ISIL. The four nations launched the Baghdad Information Center to coordinate their military actions against the terrorists both in Syria and Iraq. On September 30, Russia launched precision airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria bordering Iraq following a request from Syrian President Bashar Assad. Russian Deputy Defense Minister Anatoly Antonov said earlier that Baghdad had not requested similar assistance.The Russian military operation has been widely praised by Iraqi Shiites. For instance, the members of the Shi’ite Badr Organization have claimed they would “strongly welcome” both air attacks conducted by Russians in Iraq and an increasing role of Russia in the entire Middle East region, as the US’ approach to fight with ISIL militants is “not serious.” Immediately following Russia’s airstrike campaign in Syria, Russian and Iraqi officials left open the possibility of expanding Russia’s anti-terrorist airstrikes from Syria into Iraq. Earlier this month, Iraq Prime Minister Haider Abadi said he would welcome Russian airstrikes against ISIL positions in his country if the Russian military succeeded in Syria.

Putin Just Warned Global War Is Increasingly More Likely: Here’s Why

To be sure, the deplorable (not to mention comically absurd) strategy adopted by the US and its regional allies in Syria set Putin up for success
Putin Just Warned Global War Is Increasingly More Likely: Here's Why
by Zero Hedge | October 23, 2015        


Vladimir Putin is basking in Russia’s triumphant return to the world stage. 
What began with a land grab in Crimea and escalated with support for the separatists at Donetsk, culminated in Moscow’s dramatic entry into Syria’s protracted civil war.
To be sure, the deplorable (not to mention comically absurd) strategy adopted by the US and its regional allies in Syria set Putin up for success. The situation was highly exploitable by anyone that’s strategically minded and thanks to the convoluted set of alliances Washington has built with groups that later turned out to be extremists, Moscow gets to achieve its regional ambitions while simultaneously fighting terrorism. Meanwhile, Washington, Riyadh, Ankara, and Doha are left to look on helplessly as their Sunni extremist proxy armies are devastated by the Russian air force. The Kremlin knows there’s little chance that the West and its allies will step in to directly support the rebels – the optics around that would quickly turn into a PR nightmare.
               All of this has provided the perfect backdrop for Putin to begin what’s amounted to a lecture tour on how to conduct foreign policy. Soundbites have ranged from very serious commentary on why the West should not employ extremists to bring about regime change to comical jabs at the US and its allies who the Russian President last week accused of having “oatmeal brains” when it comes to Mid-East policy. Speaking today at the International Valdai Discussion Club’s 12th annual meeting in Sochi, Putin delivered a sweeping critique of military strategy and foreign policy touching on everything from the erroneous labeling of some extremists as “moderates” to the futility of nuclear war. “Why play with words dividing terrorists into moderate and not moderate. What’s the difference?,” Putin asked, adding that “success in fighting terrorists cannot be reached if using some of them as a battering ram to overthrow disliked regimes [because] it’s just an illusion that they can be dealt with [later], removed from power and somehow negotiated with.”  “I’d like to stress once again that [Russia’s operation in Syria] is completely legitimate, and its only aim is to aid in establishing peace,” Putin said of Moscow’s Mid-East strategy. And while he’s probably telling the truth there, it’s only by default. That is, peace in Syria likely means the restoration of Assad (it’s difficult to imagine how else the country can be stabilized in the short-term), and because that aligns with Russia’s interests, The Kremlin is seeking to promote peace – it’s more a tautology than it is a comment on Putin’s desire for goodwill towards men. And then there’s Iran and its nascent nuclear program. Putin accused the US of illegitimately seeking to play nuclear police officer, a point on which he is unquestionably correct: The “hypothetical nuclear threat from Iran is a myth. The US was just trying to destroy the strategical balance, [and] not to just dominate, but be able to dictate its will to everyone – not only geopolitical opponents, but also allies.” Speaking of nukes, Putin also warned that some nuclear powers seem to believe that there’s a way to take the “mutually” out of “mutually assured destruction.” That is, Putin warned against the dangers of thinking it’s possible to “win” a nuclear war. Commenting on US anti-missile shields in Europe and on the idea of MAD, Putin said the following:
“We had the right to expect that work on development of US missile defense system would stop. But nothing like it happened, and it continues. This is a very dangerous scenario, harmful for all, including the United States itself.  The deterrent of nuclear weapons has started to lose its value, and some have even got the illusion that a real victory of one of the sides can be achieved in a global conflict, without irreversible consequences for the winner itself – if there is a winner at all.”
In short, Putin is suggesting that the world may have gone crazy. The implication is that the US believes it not only has the capacity to win a war against the nations Washington habitually places on its various lists of “bad guys” (i.e. Russia, Iran, and China), but that Washington believes America can win without incurring consequences that are commensurate with the damage the US inflicts on its enemies. That, Putin believes, is a dangerous miscalculation and one that could end up endangering US citizens. So once again, this is Putin setting the narrative and jumping at every opportunity to portray Russia as a nation that’s not content to “lead from behind” (as so many have recently accused the US of doing). And once again, his assessment seems remarkably sober in a world that does indeed seem to have lost its collective mind. Full speech (translated) below.     

Iceland Has Now Sent 26 Corrupt Bankers To Prison

74 years of sentences for high level fraudsters; US and rest of Europe bailed theirs out
Iceland Has Now Sent 26 Corrupt Bankers To Prison
by Steve Watson | Infowars.com | October 23, 2015        


In a story not reported on at all by any Western mainstream media source, Iceland just sentenced another five high level bankers to prison for directly contributing to the collapse of the country’s economy in 2008.
This brings the total to 26 bankers now behind bars in Iceland, with most being CEOs of large financial institutions, rather than low level traders.
Most of those jailed will serve terms of two to five years, according to a report by Iceland Magazine, which notes that three executives at Landsbankinn and two at Kaupþing, along with one prominent investor, have been prosecuted.
               Their crimes include market manipulation, embezzlement, and breach of fiduciary duties. Their market manipulation destroyed the country’s economy and to this day Iceland is still having to repay the global loan sharks at the IMF, as well as governments of other countries, which kept the nation operating. The article explains that the prosecutions have been possible because rather than protect and reward the very institutions responsible for the collapse, and the gangsters that run them, the Icelandic government let them fail, and then created a financial supervisory authority to strictly oversee the banks. Iceland’s President, Olafur Ragnar Grimmson noted:
“Why are the banks considered to be the holy churches of the modern economy? Why are private banks not like airlines and telecommunication companies and allowed to go bankrupt if they have been run in an irresponsible way? The theory that you have to bail out banks is a theory that you allow bankers enjoy for their own profit, their success, and then let ordinary people bear their failure through taxes and austerity. ?People in enlightened democracies are not going to accept that in the long run.”
The President added:
“We were wise enough not to follow the traditional prevailing orthodoxies of the Western financial world in the last 30 years. We introduced currency controls, we let the banks fail, we provided support for the poor, and we didn’t introduce austerity measures like you’re seeing in Europe.”
While the country’s economy is far from what it once was, it has stabilized and is in a position to recover. Meanwhile, the governments of the US and Europe bailed out most of those responsible for playing a direct role in the financial crisis that crippled the global economy. In the US, Congress gave American banks a $700 billion TARP bailout at the expense of taxpayers. Not one banker in the US has even been charged with a crime relating to the financial collapse, there is still virtually no regulation of the banks, and they are pulling in a near record $160 billion in annual profits, all from “money” created out of thin air. The banksters continue to be protected, at all levels, and the effects of their criminal actions continue to worsen every day. Another financial catastrophe is a certainty.

Putin: US Using Terrorists as ‘Battering Ram to Overthrow Disliked Regimes’

"Why play with words dividing terrorists into moderate and not moderate. What's the difference?"
Putin: US Using Terrorists as 'Battering Ram to Overthrow Disliked Regimes'
by Mikael Thalen | Infowars.com | October 22, 2015        


Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the United States of using terrorist groups to overthrow Middle Eastern governments during a speech in Sochi Thursday at the Valdai International Discussion Club.

During the 12th annual meeting, entitled “Societies Between War and Peace: Overcoming the Logic of Conflict in Tomorrow’s World,” Putin spoke to numerous international issues including the ongoing war in Syria and the West’s questionable practices in the fight against Bashar al-Assad.
“Success in fighting terrorists cannot be reached if using some of them as a battering ram to overthrow disliked regimes,” Putin said. “It’s just an illusion that they can be dealt with [later], removed from power and somehow negotiated with.”
               Putin also took aim at so-called US-backed “moderate rebels,” who admittedly support and fight alongside terrorist organizations such as ISIL and the al-Nusra Front. “Why play with words dividing terrorists into moderate and not moderate,” the Russian president added. “What’s the difference?” Since entering the battlefield, Russia has been accused by the US of bombing moderate groups and not ISIL. According to Putin, the US has thus far refused to provide intel on what areas should or shouldn’t be targeted. “We are being criticized for allegedly hitting wrong targets. Tell us which targets are correct, if you know. But they keep silence,” Putin stated. “Tell us which targets we must not hit — they also refuse to.” “The international community should realize who we’re dealing with. An enemy, in fact, of civilization, humanity and world culture.” Putin also blamed the Obama administration for the rise of ISIL and the destabilization of the Middle East during last year’s speech at the Valdai as well. The Russian president again made similar comments at the United Nations last month, questionably translated by the New York Times, in which he blamed the United States for creating and arming ISIL. Just last July, Michael T Flynn, the former head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency, admitted during an interview with Al Jazeera that the Obama administration made a “willful decision” to support terrorist organizations in the Middle East after Pentagon documents regarding the policy were uncovered through the Freedom of Information Act. According to the 2012 document, the Obama administration even ignored warnings that arming terrorist groups would lead to the emergence of an “Islamic State.”

Former Ron Paul Aide Acquitted in Federal Trial

Jesse Benton cleared of final charge in trial meant to hurt Rand Paul's presidential campaign

Jesse Benton, a longtime advisor to both former congressman Ron Paul and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), was acquitted Thursday in a federal trial of which Ron Paul said was intended to undermine his son Rand Paul’s current presidential campaign.
Benton, who was the chairman of Ron Paul’s 2012 campaign, had been under indictment since Aug. 5 after prosecutors accused him of supposedly concealing over $70,000 in payments to Iowa State Sen. Kent Sorenson to convince Sorenson to switch his presidential endorsement from Michele Bachmann to Ron Paul.
The court had previously dismissed four of the five counts against Benton on Oct. 9, stating that the prosecution had blatantly violated agreements between Benton and the government, but Benton remained under indictment for a single count of lying to the FBI until his acquittal on Thursday.
“God is great,” Benton told multiple reporters as he left the Southern District of Iowa federal courthouse. “It feels good.”
               Another former Ron Paul staffer, Dimitri Kesari, was also under indictment but was found guilty on one count of ‘causing a false record’ and faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. The government’s prosecution of the former Ron Paul campaign staffers coincided with Rand Paul’s early rise in the presidential polls this summer, which indicated the prosecution was politically motivated. Even more telling, a government official linked to Lois Lerner’s IRS targeting of conservative groups, Richard Pilger, was the driving force behind the prosecution. And the Justice Dept. could have prosecuted Benton and his fellow staffers as early as Sept. 2014 when the government reached a plea agreement with Sorenson, who was similarly charged, but waited to file the indictments until days before Rand Paul was scheduled to appear in a Republican debate. The charges against the former campaign staffers ultimately had a negative impact on Paul’s polling numbers. “We are pleased to learn that Jesse Benton has been vindicated today of wrongdoing,” Benton’s attorney Roscoe Howard said in a statement. “The jury members worked diligently through the information presented to them and their decision reinforces that he was wrongly charged – and always has been.”

Russian Video Reveals Hellish Carnage in Syria

Syrian government and jihadis have fought over neighborhood for more than two years
by Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com | October 21, 2015        


Earlier this week Russian television released an HD video of a devastated Jobar, an eastern suburb of Damascus, where jihadists and the Syrian government are battling.

The video allegedly shot by a drone shows tanks firing amidst a hellish wreckage of buildings.
The Syrian government and jihadis have fought over the neighborhood for more than two years. It is largely abandoned, although it reportedly had 300,000 residents, primarily Sunni Muslim, prior to the war.
Jobar is considered highly strategic because it is near the Abbasid Square roundabout that leads into Damascus. It also provides access to Eastern Ghouta, a region east of the capital captured by the jihadis.
The Russians are providing air cover for the Syrian Army as it conducts an offensive in regions near Damascus.

Finnish Police Banned From Identifying Migrants as Criminal Suspects

Authorities want to avoid 'racist' backlash from critics of migrant influx
Finnish Police Banned From Identifying Migrants as Criminal Suspects
by Paul Joseph Watson | October 21, 2015        


Finnish cops have been ordered by the country’s national police board not to publicly identify migrants as criminal suspects over concerns that doing so would encourage a ‘racist’ backlash against the wave of asylum seekers entering Scandinavia.
The new guidance, reported on by Finnish news outlet Iltalehti.fl, is designed to prevent “negative” attitudes being attached to asylum seekers, as well as maintaining “law and order and a sense of security” by not radicalizing local populations who are opposed to migrants entering the country.
By keeping the migrant status of the suspect confidential, the police board hopes that crimes committed by asylum seekers will not “stir up anger.”
              
The order means that press releases or pleas for public help in identifying suspects will not include information identifying the suspect as a migrant, making it easier for would-be criminals and rapists to evade detection.
This is particularly egregious given the alarming number of rapes that have occurred in and around migrant camps, as well as Sweden’s crippling rape epidemic, for which Muslim migrants are largely responsible.
As we have previously highlighted, authorities in Germany are also covering up crimes committed by migrants.
Last month it emerged that police in Germany are keeping quiet about a spate of rapes targeting children committed by Muslim migrants in and around refugee camps so as not to “legitimize” critics of mass migration.
Germany’s top broadcaster ZDF is also refusing to run crime stories about Muslim rape suspects because, in the words of Editor in chief Ina-Maria Reize-Wildemann, “We don’t want to inflame the situation and spread the bad mood. [The migrants] don’t deserve it.”
The German government is also working with Facebook on a program to censor anti-migrant posts. The initiative is being overseen by Anetta Kahane, an ex-informant for the Stasi, the official secret police of the former Communist government of East Germany.

Swiss Voters Reject Mass Migration of Muslims

10,000 expected at anti-immigration rally in Dresden
by Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com | October 19, 2015        

Swiss voters on Sunday sent a message to the European Union that they will not tolerate the mass migration of Muslims from the Middle East.
The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) took the largest percentage of parliamentary seats over the weekend, making it the dominant political party in Switzerland. It won 29.4 percent of the vote.
The central issue during the election was the massive influx or largely illegal immigrants.
“The vote was clear,” said SVP leader Toni Brunner. “The people are worried about mass migration to Europe.”
               The SVP election victory comes nearly two years after the Swiss people voted in favor of a referendum limiting the number of foreigners living in the country. Socialists lamented the victory and their losses during the election. The Christian Democrats and the Green Liberals also lost seats in the Parliament. “One theme has unfortunately been very dominant during the campaign,” said Rebecca Ruiz, a candidate for the Socialists. She said the Swiss “people voted out of fear.”
Demonstration Against Mass Immigration
Meanwhile, in the German city of Dresden, a rally Monday is expected to draw 10,000 people. The event marks the first anniversary of the founding of PEGIDA, or Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamization of the Occident. PEGIDA has organized demonstrations against the Islamization of the Western world and backs restrictions on immigration from Muslim countries. The German government has responded to the protest by stepping up security. German intelligence characterizes PEGIDA and its leaders as “hard far-right extremists” and is conducting surveillance of the group. The Federal Minister of the Interior, Karl Ernst Thomas de Maizière, told the media in Germany anti-immigration groups are inciting violence. The bureaucrat’s remarks follow the stabbing of a pro-immigration mayoral candidate in the German city of Cologne on Saturday.

Moving Toward A One World Government, A One World Economy And A One World Religion

From September 25th to September 27th, the United Nations launched a “new universal agenda” for humanity
Moving Toward A One World Government, A One World Economy And A One World Religion
by Michael Snyder | Economic Collapse | October 19, 2015        


The global elite have never been closer to their goal of a united world. 
Thanks to a series of interlocking treaties and international agreements, the governance of this planet is increasingly becoming globalized and centralized, but most people don’t seem alarmed by this at all.  In the past 30 days, we have seen some of the biggest steps toward a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion that we have ever witnessed, but these events have sparked very little public discussion or debate.  So please share this article with as many people as you can.  We need to wake people up about this before it is too late.
From September 25th to September 27th, the United Nations launched a “new universal agenda” for humanity.  Those are not my words, they actually come directly out of the core document for this new agenda.  The Pope traveled to New York City to give the address that kicked off this conference, thus giving his considerable endorsement to this new plan.  Virtually every nation on the entire planet willingly signed up for the 17 goals that are included in this plan, but this stunning turn of events made very few international headlines.
               The United Nations is promising that if we all work together that we can turn our planet into some kind of “utopia”, but the truth is that all of this talk about “unity” masks a very insidious agenda.  The following comes from a recent piece by Paul McGuire, the author of a groundbreaking new book entitled “The Babylon Code”
The UN is not asking permission, but issuing a command that the entire planet will commit to 17 sustainable development goals and 169 sustainable development targets designed to radically transform our world by 2030. The UN 2030 plan promoted by the Pope will advance Agenda 21 on steroids. Through a controlled media the mass populations will be told that this is all about saving the environment and “ending poverty.” But that is not the true agenda of Agenda 21. The true agenda of Agenda 21 is to establish a global government, global economic system, and global religion. When UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon spoke of “a dream of a world of peace and dignity for all” this is no different than when the Communists promised the people a “workers paradise.”
For the general population, “the 2030 Agenda” has been rebranded as “the global goals”.  On September 26th, some of the biggest names in the music world (including Beyonce) promoted these new “global goals” at the “Global Citizen Festival” that was held in Central Park.  And you can watch a YouTube video where some of the most famous names on the entire planet urge all of us to get behind these new “global goals” right here. None of this is by accident.  We are being trained to think of ourselves as “global citizens” that belong to a “global community”.  Decades ago, most Americans would have been up in arms over something like this.  But now most people just seem to accept these changes passively.  Very powerful secret societies and international organizations have been moving us in this direction for a very long time, and most Americans simply have no idea what is happening.  Here is more from Paul McGuire
The United Nations is a de facto global government and does not rule by the “consent of the governed.” The United Nations is a global government to which American politicians of both parties have surrendered our Constitutional rights. If you look at the Republican Presidential debates you see the vast majority of those running are “bought men and women.” They are there to do the bidding of their true masters, the international banking families and their interlocking secret societies. If a candidate has a different set of beliefs than the “Orwellian group think” which constitutes domestic and foreign policy, he is allowed to go only so far. Who are these powerful elite groups and the secret societies that run them? As we extensively document in our new book, The Babylon Code, co-authored by this author and Troy Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated investigative journalist, there exists a very real network of semi-secretive and secret groups. Groups like The Council on Foreign Relations, The Trilateral Commission, Royal Institute of International Affairs, United Nations, Club of Rome, The Bilderberg Group, and others control presidents, prime ministers, media networks, politicians, CEO’s, and entire nations. You will almost never hear any substantive analysis by the media, which is controlled by these groups nor of attempts at holding them accountable by governments around the world.
Another way that our planet is being “united” is through the use of international trade agreements. The ultimate goal is for the entire world to become a “single market” with uniform laws, rules and regulations.  But as we merge our economy with the rest of the globe, the United States has been losing tens of thousands of businesses and millions of jobs as the monolithic corporations that now dominate our economy shift production to areas where labor is much cheaper.  This is absolutely destroying the middle class, but very few people seem to care. Negotiations for one of the biggest international trade treaties that the world has ever seen recently concluded.  The Trans-Pacific Partnership, also known as “Obamatrade”, would represent a giant step toward a truly unified global economy.  The following is an excerpt from one of my previous articles
We have just witnessed one of the most significant steps toward a one world economic system that we have ever seen.  Negotiations for the Trans-Pacific Partnership have been completed, and if approved it will create the largest trading bloc on the planet.  But this is not just a trade agreement.  In this treaty, Barack Obama has thrown in all sorts of things that he never would have been able to get through Congress otherwise.  And once this treaty is approved, it will be exceedingly difficult to ever make changes to it.  So essentially what is happening is that the Obama agenda is being permanently locked in for 40 percent of the global economy. The United States, Canada, Japan, Mexico, Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam all intend to sign on to this insidious plan.  Collectively, these nations have a total population of about 800 million people and a combined GDP of approximately 28 trillion dollars.
And do you want to know who pushed really hard to give Obama fast track negotiating authority so that these negotiations could be brought to a successful conclusion? It was the traitorous Republican leadership in Congress.  They did everything that they could to pave the way for Obamatrade. We are also seeing some stunning moves in the direction of a one world religion. In recent years, you may have noticed that it has become very trendy to say that all religions are just different paths to the same God.  In fact, many prominent religious leaders are now openly proclaiming that the two biggest faiths on the entire planet, Christianity and Islam, worship the exact same deity. For example, just consider what the Pope is saying publicly on this matter.  The following is an extended excerpt from one of my recent articles on End of the American Dream… ***** What Pope Francis had to say at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan has received very little coverage by the mainstream media, but it was exceedingly significant.  The following is how he began his address
I would like to express two sentiments for my Muslim brothers and sisters: Firstly, my greetings as they celebrate the feast of sacrifice. I would have wished my greeting to be warmer. My sentiments of closeness, my sentiments of closeness in the face of tragedy. The tragedy that they suffered in Mecca. In this moment, I give assurances of my prayers. I unite myself with you all. A prayer to almighty god, all merciful.
He did not choose those words by accident.  In Islam, Allah is known as “the all-merciful one”.  If you doubt this, just do a Google search. And this is not the first time Pope Francis has used such language.  For instance, the following comes from remarks that he made during his very first ecumenical meeting as Pope…
I then greet and cordially thank you all, dear friends belonging to other religious traditions; first of all the Muslims, who worship the one God, living and merciful, and call upon Him in prayer, and all of you. I really appreciate your presence: in it I see a tangible sign of the will to grow in mutual esteem and cooperation for the common good of humanity. The Catholic Church is aware of the importance of promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – I wish to repeat this: promoting friendship and respect between men and women of different religious traditions – it also attests the valuable work that the Pontifical Council for interreligious dialogue performs.
Pope Francis clearly believes that Christians and Muslims worship the exact same God.  And so that helps to explain why he authorized “Islamic prayers and readings from the Quran” at the Vatican for the first time ever back in 2014. ***** What is happening is undeniable. We are steamrolling toward a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion. Of course we will not get there overnight.  It is going to take some time, and there are going to be quite a few bumps along the way.  In fact, I believe that our planet will experience an extreme amount of chaos before we actually get there. But every major crisis will be used as an excuse to advance this agenda.  Virtually every solution that the elite offer us will involve more globalization and more centralization.  We will be told that all of our problems will be solved if humanity will just come together in unity. For some, the goal of a “united planet” where we are all working together to eradicate things like poverty, war and disease makes all the sense in the world. For others, a one world government, a one world economy and a one world religion would simply mean setting the stage for “one world tyranny”.

Washington Persecutes America’s Greatest Patriots

The American people accept the persecution of truth-tellers, because they have been brainwashed
Washington Persecutes America’s Greatest Patriots
by Paul Craig Roberts | Infowars.com | October 19, 2015        


John Kiriakou is an American patriot who informed us of the criminal behavior of illegal and immoral US “cloak and dagger” operations that were bringing dishonor to our country.
His reward was to be called a “traitor” by the idiot conservative Republicans and sentenced to prison by the corrupt US government.
Manning revealed US war crimes and after years of illegal pre-trial prison abuse was sentenced to 35 years in prison for keeping the vow to the US Constitution. Some of the idiot conservative Republicans thought the sentence was too light.

Hillary Clinton: Nationwide Gun Ban, Repeal of Second Amendment “Worth Considering”

But Hillary also demanded we ship guns to ISIS-linked rebels
Hillary Clinton: Nationwide Gun Ban, Repeal of Second Amendment "Worth Considering"
by Kit Daniels | Infowars.com | October 18, 2015        

Hillary Clinton said it’s “worth considering” a nationwide gun ban and a “buyback” program to eradicate private gun ownership.
The presidential candidate attacked the Second Amendment during an Oct. 16 town hall meeting in which she was asked if it were feasible for the U.S. to confiscate millions of firearms in a year.

Hillary said:
You know, Australia’s a good example, Canada’s a good example, the UK’s a good example. Why? Because each of them had mass killings, Australia had a huge mass killing about 20 or 25 years ago. Canada did as well, so did the UK. In reaction, they passed much stricter gun laws.
In the Australian example, as I recall, that was a buyback program. The Australian government as part of trying to clamp down on the availability of … weapons offered a good price for buying hundreds of thousands of guns and basically clamped down going forward, in terms of having more of a background check approach, more of a permitting approach.
But they believed, and I think the evidence supports them, that by offering to buy back those guns, they were able to, you know, curtail the supply and set a different standard for gun purchases in the future.
               Clinton also mentioned that several U.S. cities have done gun buyback programs and it would be “worth considering on a national level.”
But she failed to mention that she supported shipping guns to Syrian rebels, the majority of whom are either ISIS militants or affiliated with the Islamic State.
“In fact she was the biggest cheerleader for redistributing these arms to Syrian rebels,” presidential candidate Rand Paul told Fox News in July. “The reason this is an important issue is many of these people who received the arms are not friends of America.”
“Many of them are linked to al Qaeda and al-Nusra and some of these weapons may well have ended up in the hands of people who became ISIS.”
Virtually all of the rebels in Syria have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
“The Free Syrian Army and the Syrian National Council, the vaunted bulwarks of the moderate opposition, only really exist in hotel lobbies and the minds of Western diplomats,” journalist Ben Reynolds wrote in November. “There is simply no real separation between ‘moderate’ rebel groups and hardline Salafists allied with al-Qaeda.”
The New York Times made a similar statement.
“Nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is there a secular fighting force to speak of,” the newspaper reported in 2013.

Obama Ignores Advice of Military Generals More Than Any Other US President

President Obama’s decision to keep US troops in Afghanistan beyond his presidency angered many who were expecting a complete withdrawal.
But Pentagon officials were also outraged, as the decision marked the sixth time the Obama administration ignored the advice of his own military experts.
Despite running on a campaign to end America’s wars abroad, President Obama announced earlier this month that the US would keep 5,500 troops in Afghanistan beyond 2016. Naturally, the announcement didn’t sit well with Obama’s base, but it also frustrated his critics.
Given the still volatile situation in Afghanistan, Pentagon officials had fought to at least maintain current troop levels of 9,800.
               “The security situation in Afghanistan is so far from stable that to pull out all the troops, even for this president, doesn’t make any sense,” retired Army Gen. John Keane, who regularly advises the US Congress on security matters, told the Washington Times. And this isn’t the first time Obama has risked national security by ignoring the advice of his generals.
“Quite unprecedented, this is the sixth time President Obama has not listened to a field commander recommendation on force levels for troops in combat,” Keane added.
In the past, the president has also rejected the advice his chief of US Central Command, Army Gen. Lloyd Austin, who wanted to leave 20,000 troops in Iraq. Obama also ignored advice on four other instances relating to Afghanistan troop levels. Keane is concerned that insufficient personnel will make it difficult for soldiers to train Afghan forces – ostensibly one of the sole reasons for an American presence in the country. “What suffers as a result of this decision is the train-and-assist mission, because we won’t have sufficient troops to do it properly,” he said. While Keane maintains that Army Gen. John Campbell, the leading NATO commander in Afghanistan, had requested the troop level to remain at 9,800, the administration denies this. On Thursday, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the decision was “consistent” with Campbell’s advice. While the Obama administration appears to have split the difference between its base and its neocons, the US will likely be embroiled in the Middle East for decades to come.

Refugees in Europe ACTUALLY Complain that Free Welfare Isn’t Enough

These refugees who fled their countries are a bit, how should we say it, spoiled little brats
by Louder With Crowder | October 15, 2015        


You know how Syria and the Middle East are ravaged by war and beheadings, burkas and female genital manipulation and all of Europe is supposed to save these people from Islam, but you’re not allowed to say they’re being saved by Islam because that’s Islamaphobic or something…?
If you’re still here after that run-on sentence of the century, check this out. These refugees who fled their countries are a bit, how should we say it, spoiled little brats.

These people fled war, and yet, Europe is a giant disappointment because it’s just not living up to their expectations. The food isn’t good enough. The accommodations are meh. Kind of like the guy in Finland who wanted to return to Syria because Finland had a boring night life. Not kidding, it’s real.
Also, these “refugees” who shall henceforth be known as Goldilocks little brats, didn’t pay for a single gosh darn thing. They got handouts. They’re charity cases. Welfare-recipients. And look it their behavior. None of this is unusual by the way. Welfare-recipients feel like they’re owed everything. If you don’t work for what you have, and all you have to do is whine and complain and people reward you for it, then whining and complaining is all you do. Gratitude?
Nah. This story is If You Give a Mouse a Cookie multiplied by ISIS. If you give a mouse a cookie, he’ll launch a grenade against you so don’t do it.

Wal-Mart’s Worst Stock Crash In 27 Years Is Another Sign That The Economy Is Rapidly Falling Apart

On Wednesday, shares of Wal-Mart experienced their largest single day decline in 27 years
Wal-Mart’s Worst Stock Crash In 27 Years Is Another Sign That The Economy Is Rapidly Falling Apart

Now that a major global recession has begun, you would expect major retailers like Wal-Mart to run into trouble as consumer spending dries up, and that is precisely what is happening. 
On Wednesday, shares of Wal-Mart experienced their largest single day decline in 27 years after an extremely disappointing earnings projection was released.  The stock was down about 10 percent, which represented the biggest plunge since January 1988.  Over 21 billion dollars in shareholder wealth was wiped out on Wednesday, and this was just the continuation of a very bad year for Wal-Mart stockholders.  Overall, shares had already declined by 22 percent so far in 2015 before we even got to Wednesday.  Here is more on this stunning turn of events from Bloomberg
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. suffered its worst stock decline in more than 27 years after predicting a drop in annual profit, underscoring the giant retailer’s struggles to reignite growth.
               Earnings will decrease 6 percent to 12 percent in fiscal 2017, which ends in January of that year, the Bentonville, Arkansas-based company said at its investor day on Wednesday. Analysts had estimated a gain of 4 percent on average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
If it was just Wal-Mart that was having trouble, that would be bad enough.  But the truth is that signs that the U.S. economy has entered another major downturn are popping up all around us.  Just consider the following list of economic indicators that Graham Summers recently put outThe Fed has now kept interest rates at zero for 81 months. This is the longest period in the history of the Fed’s existence, lasting longer than even the 1938-1942 period of ZIRP. And the US economy is moving back into recession. Consider that… 1)   Industrial production fell five months straight in the first half of 2015. This has never happened outside of a recession. 2)   Merchant Wholesalers’ Sales are in recession territory. 3)   The Empire Manufacturing Survey is in recession territory. 4)   All four of the Fed’s September Purchasing Manager Index (PMI) readings (Philadelphia, New York, Richmond, and Kansas City) came in at readings of sub-zero. This usually happens when you are already 4-5 months into a recession. (H/T Bill Hester) Another huge red flag is the fact that month after month fewer products are being shipped around the country compared to last year. If less stuff is being shipped around by truck, rail and air, is it a sign that the economy is getting better or is it a sign that the economy is getting worse? The answer, of course, is self-evident.  With that in mind, please read the following excerpt which comes from a recent article by Wolf Richter
It has been crummy all year: With the exception of January and February, the shipping volume has been lower year-over-year every month! The index is broad. It tracks data from shippers, no matter what carrier they choose, whether truck, rail, or air, and includes carriers like FedEx and UPS. Evidence keeps piling up in the most unpleasant manner that something isn’t quite right in the real economy. The world is now in an inexplicable slowdown – “inexplicable” for central bankers who’ve cut interest rates to zero or below zero years ago, and who’re still dousing some economies with QE even as governments are running up big deficits. And yet, despite seven years of this huge monetary and fiscal stimulus, the global economy is deteriorating.
Okay, so is there anyone out there that still believes that the U.S. economy is in good shape? The Obama administration will probably not admit it for a very long time, but the truth is that the numbers very clearly tell us that we are in a recession. Anybody out there, whether an “expert” or just someone you happen to know, that tells you that everything is just fine is either completely ignorant or they arepurposely lying to you. And just like in 2008, state and local governments are starting to get into tremendous financial trouble as the real economy sputters.  For example, the governor of Illinois has told reporters that “we are out of money now” and that pension fund payments will be delayed as a result…
Illinois will delay payments to its pension fund as a prolonged budget impasse causes a cash shortage, Comptroller Leslie Geissler Munger said. The spending standoff between Republican Governor Bruce Rauner and Democratic legislative leaders has extended into its fourth month with no signs of ending. Munger said her office will postpone a $560 million retirement-fund payment next month, and may make the December contribution late. “This decision is choosing the least of a number of bad options,” Munger told reporters in Chicago on Wednesday. “For all intents and purposes, we are out of money now.”
When these sorts of things started happening in 2008, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and the Bush administration went into full-blown denial mode.  They kept telling all of us not to worry and that everything would be okay, and that just made things worse in the end. The same thing is happening now.  The Obama administration and the mainstream media keep talking about an “economic recovery” even in the face of numbers such as I have discussed in this article. Perhaps things are going well for you personally at the moment, and that is great.  But now is not the time to buy lots of new toys.   Nor is it the time to accumulate more debt. Instead, now is a time to position yourself for a period of difficulty that could stretch on for years. The next recession is here, and it is going to grow progressively worse. The wise will take heed and make preparations, but the foolish will just keep on doing what they have been doing until it is far too late.

No Question ISIS Supported By The U.S. Government


The U.S. Government Supplied ISIS’ Iconic Pickup Trucks

Toyotas were supplied by the US government to the Al Nusra Front
by Washington's Blog | October 13, 2015        


U.S. counter-terror officials have launched an investigation into how ISIS got so many of those identical Toyota pickup trucks which they use in their convoys.
They don’t have to look very far …
The Spectator reported last year:
The [Toyota] Hilux [pics] is light, fast, manoeuvrable and all but indestructible (‘bomb-proof’ might not, in this instance, be a happy usage).  The weapons experts Jane’s claimed for the Hilux a similar significance to the longbows of Agincourt or the Huey choppers of Nam. A US Army Ranger said the Toyota sure ‘kicks the hell out of a Humvee’ (referring to the clumsy and over-sized High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle made by AM General).
               *** The fact is the Toyotas were supplied by the US government to the Al Nusra Front as ‘non-lethal aid’ then ‘acquired’ by ISIS.
Al Nusra Front is literally Al Qaeda. Public Radio International – an American public radio outlet – also documented a specific shipment of Toyotas by the U.S. State Department in 2014:
Recently, when the US State Department resumed sending non-lethal aid to Syrian rebels, the delivery list included 43 Toyota trucks. Hiluxes were on the Free Syrian Army’s wish list. Oubai Shahbander, a Washington-based advisor to the Syrian National Coalition, is a fan of the truck. “Specific equipment like the Toyota Hiluxes are what we refer to as force enablers for the moderate opposition forces on the ground,” he adds. Shahbander says the US-supplied pickups will be delivering troops and supplies into battle. Some of the fleet will even become battlefield weapons.
That’s exactly what happened …
