The Persian Gulf harbors an array of extremely compromising secrets. Near the top is the Afghan heroin ratline – with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) positioned as the golden node of a transnational, trillion dollar heroin money laundering operation. In this 21st century Opium War, crops harvested in Afghanistan are essentially feeding the heroin market not only in Russia and Iran but especially in the US. Up to 93% of the world’s opium comes from Afghanistan. Contrary to predominant Western perception, this is not an Afghan Taliban operation. The key questions — never asked by Atlanticist ...
Slandering Russia: ’Journalists tripping one another saying outrageous things to please bosses’

US mainstream media reporters are tripping over one another to say the most outrageous things as they think their bosses will like to present Russia in the worst possible light, says political analyst Gilbert Doctorow. The US media is trying to uncover who is inspiring the divisions in American society. A new article in The Washington Post suggests Russian influence guides the far right. Other media outlets go even further suggesting that Russian intelligence is using hate groups to escalate the situation inside the US. However, despite all the conclusions, the article admits there is no evidence Russia is supporting American extreme right groups. “The article in the Washington ...

Look up chutzpah in the dictionary, and this might be the definition. Earlier this morning, the Russian foreign ministry posted objections on Facebook to Poland’s compliance with some post-Soviet treaties, with a preamble that accused Poles of being ingrates. While there may or may not be legitimate gripes with actions relating to the Friendly and Goodneighbourly Cooperation Treaty of 1992, Russia’s foreign ministry accused Poles of denying that the Soviets were their saviors in World War II: #Warsaw continue to deny the Soviet Union’s participation in Poland’s liberation from fascism https://t.co/WuBE31cREm pic.twitter.com/dXRZbPl43f — MFA Russia ...
Piglets saved from blaze served as sausages to firefighters who rescued them

A farmer in Wiltshire, England, decided to thank the the firefighters who saved her piglets from a barn fire in an almost twisted yet somehow fitting manner. Back in February, officers from the Pewsey Fire Station responded to a blaze at a farm where 60 metric tons of hay had caught on fire. The quick-acting officials ended up saving 18 piglets and two sows from what would have been a terrible death. Months later, in a somewhat controversial move, farm manager Rachel Rivers thanked the firefighters for their hard work by sending them some sausages … sausages made from the very piglets they had saved from that fire. “I promised them at the time when they actually go, ...

Trump said that he is 'very thankful' to Russian President Vladimir Putin for expelling 755 U.S. diplomats because eliminating their payrolls has cut government costs. Time Amid an investigation into Russian meddling in the last U.S. presidential election, a Russian propaganda Twitter network aimed at American audiences consistently spreads links to Breitbart and other right-wing or conspiracy theory websites that boost President Trump and bash Democrats. The websites — which include True Pundit, the Gateway Pundit and Imperialist U — are regular features on the list of “Top Domains” pushed by a network of 600 Twitter accounts ...

Title "Killed Deadpool 2 stuntwoman 'overpromoted because she was the right race and gender'" Stunt performers who worked on ‘Deadpool 2’ have said that they warned producers of the movie that newcomer Joi ‘SJ’ Harris, who died in a motorcycle accident on set, was not up to the job. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, several people who worked on the movie have come forward saying that they had voiced concerns, but were ignored. There are also suggestions that producers pressured their stunt coordinators to use Harris because she was African-American, and a believable stand-in for Zazie Beetz, the actress playing the character of Domino, despite her ...

The Chinese army is concerned at the lack of young recruits in good physical condition.AFP/Getty Images A rising number of young Chinese people are failing fitness tests required to join the army because they are too fat and masturbate too much, state media has proclaimed. The high rejection rate has triggered concerns that there are not enough youths in good physical condition to fill the ranks of the Chinese army. A poor diet and frequent masturbation, leading to abnormally large testicular veins, are believed to be behind falling fitness levels, according to a report published in state-run military newspaper the People’s Liberation Army Daily.Authorities also think the constant use ...

Luigi Brugnaro claims the Italian tourist hotspot is safer than Barcelona - where 14 people died being run down by a terrorist - saying that 'in contrast, we keep our guard up' Venice's right-wing mayor has ordered cops to shoot ANYONE who shouts 'Allahu Akbar' - rather than risk a terror attack . The phrase in Arabic for 'God is greatest' has been shouted in multiple terrorist incidents across the continent.

German police stopped a vehicle Saturday night, only to find the father and son inside allegedly hauling a heap of ecstasy. The roughly 5,000 pills packed in a handful of bags had a street value of nearly $46,000, according to authorities in Osnabrück. A big catch, to be sure — but that's not the weird part. When they took a closer look, they saw a familiar face staring back. Enlarge this image This photograph provided by Osnabrück police shows one of the ecstasy pills they seized over Saturday evening.

Witnesses Watch in Horror As Cops Mace & Taser Deaf Mute Man Over a Parking Ticket

San Diego, CA — Sadly, as multiple cases show, being deaf in America while interacting with police can lead to your arrest, assault, or even your death. A deaf, mute man in San Diego just learned this the hard way. The man, whose name has not been released, was in a thrift shop attempting to sell some shoes when he noticed a traffic enforcement officer writing him a ticket for being illegally parked. Likely knowing that he couldn’t afford a ticket, he ran outside to plead with the officer. “He couldn’t speak, so he was communicating via a legal pad we had. As he was writing something to ask us, he saw that he was going to get a ticket,” said Tiara Arreloa, the ...

According to author Leo Tolstoy, born at the very end of the Little Ice Age, in quite a cold country: The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he already knows, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him. So, our new technical paper in GeoResJ (vol. 14, pages 36-46) will likely be ignored. Because after applying the latest big data technique to six 2,000 year-long proxy-temperature series we cannot confirm that recent warming is anything but natural – what might have occurred anyway, even if ...

Will the US response to Russia’s diplomatic maneuver last month hit Vladimir Putin where it hurts? After Russia demanded a cutback of 755 positions in US diplomatic personnel, Donald Trump joked that Vladimir Putin had done him a favor by saving the State Department lots of money. Trump found another way to save money — cut off all non-immigrant visas for more than a week, and then severely restrict them afterward: The United States Embassy in Moscow announced Monday it would temporarily stop issuing all non-immigrant visas in Russia and then severely curtail visa operations as it slashes its staff to comply with the latest salvo in Washington’s diplomatic standoff with ...

AMMAN, Reuters - President Donald Trump has made a decision on the United States' strategy for Afghanistan after a "sufficiently rigorous" review process, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Sunday. However, Mattis did not provide details on when the White House would make an announcement or what the decision was on Afghanistan, where fighting still rages more than 15 years after U.S. forces invaded and overthrew a Taliban government. Soon after taking office in January, the Trump administration began a review of U.S. policy on Afghanistan, which has expanded into a broader South Asia review. "I am very comfortable that the strategic process was sufficiently rigorous ...

Former Obama administration official Jeh Johnson said the removal of Confederate statues was a matter of "public safety and homeland security" on Sunday. In the aftermath of deadly violence in Charlottesville, Va., when a man with white nationalist ties was arrested for ramming his car into a crowd of counter-protesters last week and killing a woman, Confederate monuments across the country have been taken down. The furor in Charlottesville began with a protest by white supremacists against the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. Johnson served as Secretary of Homeland Security under Obama, and he said on ABC's "This Week" that the monuments to Confederates were ...

Say an expert tells you that if you don’t follow his advice, the world or a substantial part of it might go up in flames. You do nothing, and two years later no fire is apparent — but the same expert returns, offering the same advice. Would you take his suggestion the second time around? That is roughly the position of those who argue that we must arm Ukraine. Two years ago the Brookings Institution put out a proposal for arming Ukraine and warned that failing to do so could bring about “worldwide conflagration.” If you haven’t noticed, most of us are still walking about. Casey Michel, writing here at National Review, disputes my characterization of Ukraine ...

President Donald Trump continued his blustery North Korea rhetoric on Friday, tweeting that the U.S. military was “locked and loaded” and later telling reporters that Kim Jong-un had better not make any “overt threats” against the United States. “This man will not get away with what he is doing,” Trump told reporters from his golf club in New Jersey, adding that if Kim makes a move against the U.S. or its allies “he will truly regret it and he will regret it fast.” In the midst of this spike in tension between the United States and the Hermit Kingdom, a team of independent rocket experts ...

Kim Jong Un warns he could change his mind if the U.S. persists in ‘extremely dangerous reckless actions’ SEOUL—North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has decided not to launch a threatened missile attack on Guam, Pyongyang’s state media reported on Tuesday, but warned that he could change his mind “if the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions.” The report, published early Tuesday, could help dial back tensions that had spiraled last week following an exchange of threats between North Korea and U.S. President Donald Trump. Mr. Trump warned Pyongyang last week that the U.S. military was “locked and loaded” and could engulf the ...

U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld served on the board of a Swiss company that in 2000 sold light water nuclear reactors to the government of North Korea, which critics, including Pentagon hardliners, say could be used to produce nuclear weapons. Rumsfeld’s involvement in the $200 million deal with the Zurich-based engineering company ABB is seen as an embarrassment to the Bush administration, which vehemently opposed the deal during the 2000 presidential campaign, reports the London-based Guardian. “One could draw the conclusion that economic and personal interests took precedent over non-proliferation,” said Steve LaMontagne of the Center for Arms Control and ...

Here’s the good news about the crisis over North Korea. We are not going to war. Donald Trump is not going to nuke Pyongyang, reckless, rhetorical threats to the contrary. Nor is North Korea’s Kim Jong Un going to nuke Guam. Yes, I know the president just threatened to meet any more North Korean threats to the United States “with fire and fury like the world has never seen.” This is the kind of extreme military rhetoric by a U.S. president the world has never seen, except by Harry S. Truman before bombing Nagasaki. Kim responded by threatening a pre-emptive strike against Guam, a U.S. territory with American military bases. But a pre-emptive war is not on the horizon, ...

The final political stage of the socialist collapse in Venezuela will be a brutal dictatorship run by Nicolas Maduro. The final economic stage will be a fire sale of Venezuela’s assets to prop it up. Guess who’s snapping up the oil reserves from Maduro? Come on — three guesses, and the first two don’t count: Venezuela’s unravelling socialist government is increasingly turning to ally Russia for the cash and credit it needs to survive – and offering prized state-owned oil assets in return, sources familiar with the negotiations told Reuters. As Caracas struggles to contain an economic meltdown and violent street protests, Moscow is using its position as ...
Top Geopolitical Expert Issues Dire Warning: ‘Beware of False Flag’ Blamed on North Korea

After years of threatening to carry out a nuclear attack on the United States, North Korea is finally closer than it has ever been to fulfilling its notorious threat—according to politicians and mainstream media outlets across the country. But according to one geopolitical analyst, Americans should be more concerned about the possibility of a false flag attack. In a report for Asia Times, analyst Pepe Escobar noted that the same people who are now saying that North Korea has created a miniaturized nuclear warhead capable of fitting its recently tested ICBM are the people who sold the lie that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. “Western corporate media would ...

War is destruction and death. It’s serious business. So the facts should be taken seriously and measured accurately. I’ve touched on this subject in the comments several times in the past here at RedState, but have put off writing about it because I’ve discovered there is an inverse relationship to how long it takes me to write a story and the interest it gets. However, the North Korea crisis makes this appropriate and necessary I think. I’ll use as my point of departure a Washington Post story from today titled Twenty-five million reasons the U.S. hasn’t struck North Korea. It discusses the idea that if war breaks out between North Korea and the United States ...

Acid attacks are a favorite tactic of Muslims in Pakistan. This “epidemic” is a direct consequence of Muslim immigration into Britain. This savagery is directly due to the policies of Theresa May and her cohorts. “While perpetrators are not confined to any one community, between 2011 and 2016 attacks in London tended to be concentrated in areas which have experienced high levels of immigration. Newham, Barking and Dagenham, and Tower Hamlets — all of which are minority White British — topped the list for total attacks in the period.” “UK: Acid Attacks Now at ‘Epidemic Levels’, Says Burns Surgeon,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, August 7, 20 ...
