Fire department investigators are attempting to determine what caused a devastating fire in a Honolulu tower condominium building. At least three people were killed in the blaze, and several floors of the building were badly damaged. The fire occurred exactly one month after the deadly fire at Grenfell Tower in London.
In other news, a 16-year-old boy is being charged with multiple offenses for Thursday night’s series of five moped-borne acid attacks in London. Police are still trying to determine a motive for the lad’s mischievous spree.

In numerous articles over the years I have outlined in acute detail the agenda for a future one-world economic and governmental system led primarily by banking elites and globalists; an agenda they sometimes refer to as the “New World Order.” The term has gained such public exposure and notoriety recently that the globalists have fallen back to using different terminology. Some of them, like the International Monetary Fund’s Christine Lagarde, refer to it as the “global economic reset.” Others call it the “new multilateralism.” Still others refer to it as the “end of the unipolar order,” referring to the slow death of the U.S. economy as the central pillar of the global economy.
Whatever label they decide to use, all of them signal a full spectrum destabilization of the “old world” financial and geopolitical system and the ascendance of a tightly controlled one world edifice dominated openly by globalist hubs like the IMF and the BIS.
Too many people, even in the liberty movement, tend to examine only the veneer of this agenda. Some have deluded themselves into thinking the U.S. and the dollar are actually the core of the NWO and are therefore indispensable to the globalists. As I have shown time and time again, the Federal Reserve is now on a fast track to complete its sabotage of the U.S. economy; they would not be instigating instability and crisis to deflate the massive fiscal bubbles they have created unless America was at least partially expendable…
Germany has set the stage for the self-flagellating model of “multiculturalism.” Angela Merkel is obsessive in her pursuit of the ideal, and this makes sense from a globalist perspective. Multiculturalism requires absolutely uninhibited movement of ideologies and populations across borders, making borders essentially obsolete. Idiot leftists duped by pie-in-the-sky fantasies like “it takes a village to raise a child” have been exploited by the globalists as a tool to push the end of national sovereignty. Merkel’s Germany has been at the forefront of this movement in Europe and is now apparently being groomed as an antithesis to Trump.
Germany has also for many years stood as a kind of socialist paradise, with over 25% of their GDP going into entitlement programs so pervasive it is possible for German citizens (women in particular) to live most of their lives without ever having to work. It was this constant flow of tax dollars into welfare programs that attracted a vast number of so-called “refugees” from Islamic countries into the EU, virtually overwhelming the entitlement system and forcing Germany to put restrictions on new citizens.

Climate Deal Was Nothing But Giant Scr*w Job for the American People
The United States lucked out when Trump decided not to sign the Paris Accord. The Paris Climate accord was nothing but a giant scr*w job designed to drain money away from the American taxpayer.

Dobbs: Deep State Trying to Destroy President Trump, Break Will of American People
Clinton, Comey and Co. must be brought to justice
Lou Dobbs warned millions of Sean Hannity viewers that the deep state, coupled with the radical left and MSM, are carrying out a coup against President Trump and the American people, and that immediate action must be taken in response.
“This is an effort to subvert the administration of President Donald Trump — it is nothing less,” Dobbs said. “It is an effort by the deep state to roll over a duly elected president and a legitimate government, and to break the will of the American people.”
Dobbs asserted that the conventional political axis upon which Americans have become accustomed to operating has shifted as the radical left have openly declared war on the Western values of democracy, national sovereignty and the rule of law.
“This is no longer about Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals,” he said. “This is about a full-on assault by the left and the Democratic Party to absolutely carry out a coup d’etat against President Trump, aided by the left wing media.”
[Comment: Lou is 100% correct. Democrats are powned by Soros.]

Investigators Look for Cause of Fatal Hawaii Tower Fire
(Reuters) — Honolulu fire officials on Saturday were hoping to determine the cause of a blaze that tore through three upper floors of a 36-story residential tower in Hawaii’s capital, killing at least three people.
The conflagration, which broke out on Friday afternoon and took firefighters about four hours to extinguish, sent debris raining down from the Marco Polo tower onto an oceanfront tourist district, forcing the closure of a major road and sending thick, black smoke billowing over the city.
It also highlighted the absence of sprinkler systems in some older buildings. These became mandatory in Honolulu high-rises in 1974. The Marco Polo, which has 586 units, opened three years earlier.

Since this has formed the basis for plans to steal literal trillions of dollars and has already resulted in the forced extraction of hundreds of billions in aggregate for motorists and industry this quite-clearly constitutes the largest economic fraud ever perpetrated in the world.
As world leaders, namely in the European Union, attack President Trump for pulling out of the Paris Climate Agreement which would have saddled Americans with billions upon billions of dollars in debt and economic losses, a new bombshell report that analyzed Global Average Surface Temperature (GAST) data produced by NASA, the NOAA and HADLEY proves the President was right on target with his refusal to be a part of the new initiative.
According to the report, which has been peer reviewed by administrators, scientists and researchers from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), and several of America’s leading universities, the data is completely bunk:
In this research report, the most important surface data adjustment issues are identified and past changes in the previously reported historical data are quantified. It was found that each new version of GAST has nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history. And, it was nearly always accomplished by systematically removing the previously existing cyclical temperature pattern. This was true for all three entities providing GAST data measurement, NOAA, NASA and Hadley CRU.
As a result, this research sought to validate the current estimates of GAST using the best available relevant data. This included the best documented and understood data sets from the U.S. and elsewhere as well as global data from satellites that provide far more extensive global coverage and are not contaminated by bad siting and urbanization impacts. Satellite data integrity also benefits from having cross checks with Balloon data.
The conclusive findings of this research are that the three GAST data sets are not a valid representation of reality. In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data. Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever —despite current claims of record setting warming.
Finally, since GAST data set validity is a necessary condition for EPA’s GHG/CO2 Endangerment Finding, it too is invalidated by these research findings. (Full Abstract Report)
Of course, this won’t stop global climate normalcy deniers from saying it’s all one big conspiracy to destroy the earth. They’ll naturally argue that data adjustments to the temperatures need to be made for a variety of reasons, which is something the report doesn’t dispute. What it does show, however, is that these “adjustments” always prove to be to the upside. Always warmer, never cooler:
While the notion that some “adjustments” to historical data might need to be made is not challenged, logically it would be expected that such historical temperature data adjustments would sometimes raise these temperatures, and sometimes lower them. This situation would mean that the impact of such adjustments on the temperature trend line slope is uncertain. However, each new version of GAST has nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history.
In short: The evidence has been falsified.
Karl Denninger sums it up succinctly:
It is therefore quite-clear that the data has been intentionally tampered with.
Since this has formed the basis for plans to steal literal trillions of dollars and has already resulted in the forced extraction of hundreds of billions in aggregate for motorists and industry this quite-clearly constitutes the largest economic fraud ever perpetrated in the world.
I call for the indictment and prosecution of every person and organization involved, asset-stripping all of them to their literal underwear.
The real data looks something like this:…

Retired Green Beret Warns: “There Could be a Nuclear Strike Against the United States Coming Soon”
For approximately the past five years, the Mainstream Media (MSM) and the Obama-administration supported research “think-tanks” for monitoring the North Korean situation have had a field day. They consistently (along with the brain-dead public’s crowds of naysayers) and intentionally understated the capabilities of North Korea. The experts in the field (such as Dr. Peter V. Pry, Admiral Bill Gortney, General Curtis Scapparotti) have not been able to be denied; however, they have been marginalized and made to seem to be “in conflict” with the prevailing, majority “view.” The “tyranny of the majority,” in this case, was needed to accomplish the objectives of the Obama administration: appear to be “strong” on sanctions, and “aloof” with diplomacy, i.e., Barack Hussein Obama II’s not “lowering” himself to deal with North Korea diplomatically.
The true objective of Obama regarding North Korea was to pursue a laissez-faire policy and allow North Korea to progress, becoming a viable threat, as it is today.
All of this was deliberately planned by Obama and his handlers. As far back as April 7, 2015, Admiral Bill Gortney (the former commander of North American Aerospace Defense, a.k.a. NORAD) gave a press conference in which he warned of North Korea’s capabilities with an ICBM, an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile…warned that North Korea could strike the United States with a nuclear warhead on an ICBM…he stated this in 2015. Six months prior, in October of 2014 Admiral Gortney stated that North Korea had nuclear weapons, had miniaturization capabilities, and could place them on missiles that could reach the continental United States.
Fast-forward to this year…

Canadian PM Tells US: Dump ‘America First’
Castro-lookalike Trudeau wants “thinner” US borders
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told US governors to drop the “America First” motto made popular by President Trump.
Trudeau also pushed for a “thinner border” between the US and Canada during an unusual speech at the National Governors’ Association speech in Rhode Island on Friday, the first for a Canadian prime minister.
During the speech, he pressured governors to embrace some of the policies of NAFTA, the 1994 trade agreement President Trump famously called a “disaster” which has cost jobs in the US, Mexico and Canada.
If America moves away from NAFTA, Trudeau claimed “it can quickly become a cycle of tit-for-tat, a race to the bottom, where all sides lose.”
Interesting how a foreign leader is trying to undermine a US president by talking directly to governors…
On a side note, Trudeau is a frequent target for ridicule on 4chan, where his strange resemblance to the late Cuban leader Fidel Castro is routinely pointed out.

French Police, Army Rocked by Scores of Islamic Infiltrators
Leads to future stand downs by police, military during terror attacks
For years, militant Islamists have been trying to infiltrate France’s military and law enforcement, and have had some success, Claude Tchicaya of the Institut de Prospective et Sécurité en Europe told Sputnik.
The French authorities have identified scores of Islamic extremists who have infiltrated the French army, police and gendarmerie in recent years, according to reports.
There have been about a dozen cases of radicalization in the gendarmerie national, France’s military police, gendarmerie chief of staff Richard Lizurey said in September.
Last year, a report by the French National Assembly’s Committee on National Defense and Armed Forces noted that approximately 50 cases of Islamist extremism had been discovered in the French army and recommended greater vigilance when recruiting soldiers.

A TEEN boy has been charged over a spate of acid attacks across London.
The 16-year-old now faces a string of charges for 15 offences including robbery, grievous bodily harm with intent and possession of an item to discharge a noxious substance.
The charges come after five acid attacks took place in less than 90 minutes in London on Thursday night, the Metropolitan Police said.
A 15-year-old was previously quizzed by cops on suspicion of grievous bodily harm and robbery and was released on bail until a date in early August.
Victims, who were all reportedly fast-food delivery drivers, were rushed to hospital after having the corrosive substance either thrown or sprayed in their faces.
A 49-year-old man who lives nearby Windus Road in Stoke Newington said he saw one of the victims, who authorities say suffered “life-changing injuries”, clutching his face in pain after the attack.
Speaking to The Sun Online, Samuel Leibowitz said the victim, who was brutally assaulted at 11.18pm in Cazenove Road, appeared to be in “agony.”
He added: “If you see somebody with a knife or a gun, you know what to look for. The problem (with acid attacks) is you can’t be prepared. This area has changed a lot.”

Why the UN Human Rights Council is Silent as Venezuelans Die Oppressed Under Socialism
The United Nations Human Rights Council has been silent on the death of Venezuelans at the hands of their democratic socialist government. The UN has sided with death, but that isn’t surprising, considering the horrific plans they have laid out for most humans.
The Miami Herald is calling the UN’s lack of response to blood in the streets in Venezuela a “travesty.” Despite Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s bloody repression of opposition protests that have resulted in more than 100 dead, thousands of wounded and hundreds of political prisoners over the past three months, the United Nations Human Rights Council, UNHRC, has not uttered a single word about Venezuela’s human rights crisis.
But there’s a reason for the silence, and all one has to do to figure it out, is lightly scratch the surface. The UN doesn’t care about human rights. It’s a front for their ability to massively depopulate the earth for the advancement of Agenda 21.

Poland’s Most Powerful Politician Says No More Migrants
Eastern Europe resisting EU takeover
As the migrant crisis intensifies all across Europe, many politicians have refused to acknowledge the increase in crime that accompanies mass migration.
From Sweden’s Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, to Germany’s Angela Merkel, it seems that the vast majority of European politicians are pandering to the onslaught of migrants, opening up their borders to everyone and anyone, while simultaneously betraying their very own people.
One European politician, however, has taken a firm stance against mass immigration.
Poland’s former Prime Minister, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, recently gave an impassioned speech at a party convention 60 miles south of Warsaw, firmly exclaiming that Poland has a right to refuse any and all refugees for the sake of protecting and preserving its own people.
Mr. Kaczynski, a longtime critic of the European Union, is often cited as Poland’s most powerful politician, due to his position as head of the Law and Justice party, abbreviated as PiS.
PiS is Poland’s equivalent to the United States’ far right — they’re a right-wing populist, national-conservative, Christian democrat party, which advocates for the prioritization of Poland’s citizens before anyone else.

The 75,000 Mile Wide Hole in the Sun Could Black Out Earth’s Communications
The sunspot spotted by NASA as our sun creeps toward its solar minimum is 75,000 miles wide. That has huge implications for our satellites and communications systems, and the sunspot could cause some blackouts on Earth.
The huge sunspot has the potential to send out dangerous solar flares known to take out important communication equipment, satellites, and even huge sections of the power grid. This sunspot is the first to appear after the sun was spotless for 2 days and the dark core is larger than the Earth.

The New World Order Takeover is Very Real: “A Full Spectrum Destabilization of the Old World Financial and Geopolitical System”
Idiot leftists duped by pie-in-the-sky fantasies like “it takes a village to raise a child” have been exploited by the globalists as a tool to push the end of national sovereignty. Merkel’s Germany has been at the forefront of this movement in Europe and is now apparently being groomed as an antithesis to Trump.
My own comment in the “Polish Left Calls for International Intervention to Stop the Actions of the Conservative Government in Poland” thread said exactly the same thing about, “Idiot leftists … [being] exploited by the globalists as a tool…”
Such as:
These, and many other, remarkable aspects make the recent G20 riots in Hamburg take on an aura of a “false flag” attack, whereby groups with parallel interests (e.g., one-world-government, borderless nations, universal monetary currency) attempt to differentiate themselves for the sake of each side recruiting their own portion of the electorate—albeit for an identical objective.
…
By now, it is abundantly clear that the 1% has no compunction about using Antifa or other Leftist thugs as shock troops to both clear a path through nationalist groups and enact a startling variety of legal measures which curtail the most basic human rights.
This is worrisome, as I merely was indulging in a bit of unrestrained speculation that falls fairly wide of my usual scribbling.
On a final note, there’s this: (from the initial quote)
Merkel’s Germany has been at the forefront of this movement in Europe and is now apparently being groomed as an antithesis to Trump.
It is very telling that an inexperienced statesman like Trump is casting such a long shadow across even the most seasoned of Europe’s Socialist despots. It indicates just how badly panic-stricken the Continent’s Progressives are in terms of being held accountable over such basics as following the electorate’s will or having leaders give priority to the betterment of their respective nation’s citizens.
Given the strong resonance that nationalist Europeans (e.g., Poland) are finding with Trump, it can only be a huge blunder for the EU’s political aristocracy to hoist up an abject cultural traitor like Merkel as his antithesis. As in; the stronger Trump becomes, the weaker Merkel (and all of her policies) must conversely be.
In the Internet age, this sort of political yellow journalism will have much less traction. Especially in the face of daily revelations about how even the most established media outlets gleefully wallow in the ordure of misrepresentations, slander, and outright lies.
