FBI Spy-Op Exposed, Trump Campaign Infiltrated by Longtime CIA and MI6 Asset

Following two weeks of mounting speculation over the FBI’s so-called “mole” inside the Trump campaign, the New York Times and Washington Post published separate accounts on Friday detailing the infiltration of the Trump campaign — — a scheme revealed in a Wednesday report by the New York Times in which “at least one government informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos.” The Wednesday report also disclosed the existence of “Operation Crossfire Hurricane” — the FBI’s code name for their early Trump-Russia investigation.

Thanks to Friday’s carefully crafted deep-state disclosures by WaPo and the Times, along with actual reporting by the Daily Caller’s Chuck Ross, we now know it wasn’t a mole at all — but 73-year-old University of Cambridge professor Stefan Halper, a US citizen, political veteran and longtime US Intelligence asset enlisted by the FBI to befriend and spy on three members of the Trump campaign during the 2016 US election.

Google’s Disturbing Vision of Total Data Collection

Now, an internal Google video has leaked that provides an unnerving glimpse into how the firm could use that wealth on information to control your behaviour.

The video sets the scene for a Black Mirror-style future in which machines know your needs even before you do, and are able to manipulate you to follow their own agendas.

Google admits the video is ‘disturbing’, but stresses that it’s simply a thought experiment.

New EMP Commission Report Confirms Dangers

All News Pipeline has been honored over the past several years to be able to publish stories here from one of America’s foremost experts on EMP, Dr. Peter Vincent Pry, whose warnings to Americans over the years of the existential dangers facing our country from an EMP attack have just been confirmed in a newly declassified report from the EMP Commission.

As Mac Slavo reports in this new story over at SHTFPlan, the new report put out by the re-established Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack confirms that even a minor EMP attack upon our electrical grid would likely lead to at least a year without electricity in America, if not even longer the Commission warns.

As Paul Bedard reports in this new story over at the Washington Examiner, according to the new report (which we have embedded in full at the bottom of this story for you to read at your own convenience), parts if not the entire United States could “be starved of electricity, water, food, internet service and transportation for a year or longer by the smallest electromagnetic pulse attack on the electric grid” and “as a result of the chaos, millions would likely die”.

And while the Examiner and SHTFPlan stories might sound like ‘old news’ to some ANP readers and those who’ve been preparing for just such an event to one day happen within our lifetimes, as the report points out, most Americans are still totally unprepared for such an event with potentially hundreds of millions of Americans who have either never even heard of ‘EMP’ or who have been led by the mainstream media to believe EMP to be something from a science fiction movie.

Yet the same people are glued to their cell phones and other electrical gadgets much of their waking lives, totally unprepared for a few hours without their ‘gadgets’, much less the hell that could be unleashed with a power outage lasting for a year or more…

Dr Pry also recently reported in a story on ANP that the difference between President Trump on the EMP threat and former President Obama on the EMP threat is like night and day with President Trump taking the threat very seriously.

But will President Trump harden the electrical grid before it is too late?

The mere fact that President Trump is taking this threat seriously while the Obama administration totally ignored it speaks volumes and offers all the evidence we need that indeed, President Trump is MUCH different than Obama. Yet as Dr. Pry also points out, the ‘Obama holdovers’ are still within President Trump’s administration. Once again, from the Washington Examiner story.: …

People Who Express Outrage Over TSA Groping Can Now be Put on a Watchlist

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is forming a new watchlist specifically for people who give its agents a hard time during security screenings, and are deemed “unruly” passengers who act in ways that TSA agents find “offensive.”

The New York Times obtained a five-page directive recently published by the agency announcing the establishment of the watchlist or “95 list,” which is a new program that began in February.

The directive, which was reportedly issued by Darby LaJoye, TSA’s assistant administrator for security operations, states that “An intent to injure or cause physical pain is not required, nor is an actual physical injury.”

The criteria that could land a person on the list is extremely vague and could include anything from loitering near the checkpoint to having a verbal altercation with a TSA agent. The directive also suggested that anyone who presents “challenges to the safe and effective completion of screening” could be added to the list.

The FBI Informant Who Monitored the Trump Campaign, Stefan Halper, Oversaw a CIA Spying Operation in the 1980 Presidential Election

AN EXTREMELY STRANGE EPISODE that has engulfed official Washington over the last two weeks came to a truly bizarre conclusion on Friday night. And it revolves around a long-time, highly sketchy CIA operative, Stefan Halper.

Four decades ago, Halper was responsible for a long-forgotten spying scandal involving the 1980 election, in which the Reagan campaign — using CIA officials managed by Halper, reportedly under the direction of former CIA Director and then-Vice-Presidential candidate George H.W. Bush — got caught running a spying operation from inside the Carter administration. The plot involved CIA operatives passing classified information about Carter’s foreign policy to Reagan campaign officials in order to ensure the Reagan campaign knew of any foreign policy decisions that Carter was considering.

Over the past several weeks, House Republicans have been claiming that the FBI during the 2016 election used an operative to spy on the Trump campaign, and they triggered outrage within the FBI by trying to learn his identity.

Wife of Man Charged in Blast Probe Died in ‘Mysterious Case’

LOS ANGELES A decade before his ex-girlfriend was killed in what investigators say was a targeted explosion, Stephen Beal’s wife died in what a coroner deemed a “mysterious case.”

Christine Beal’s death in 2008 came a few weeks after she fell down a flight of stairs in their Long Beach home while carrying a heavy piece of furniture with her husband. The bureau landed on her pelvic and hip area.

The Los Angeles County coroner’s office said it was not clear if the death was related to trauma, but said there were no signs of foul play and ruled the manner “undetermined.” An autopsy said her death was caused by pancreatitis, electrolyte imbalance and chronic lead intoxication.

Stephen Beal won $550,000 in a lawsuit against a life insurance company that denied his claim after asserting the death was not an accident…

A Month of Islam and Multiculturalism in France: April 2018

More than 250 French public figures — elected officials from all sides of the political aisle, representatives of different religions, intellectuals and artists — signed a manifesto against “the new anti-Semitism” brought to France by mass immigration from the Muslim world.

The manifesto, published by Le Parisien, sounded the alarm against a “low-level ethnic cleansing” of Jews in Paris and demanded that the verses of the Koran which call for the killing and punishment of Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims “be obsoleted” by theological authorities. In a counter-manifesto published by Le Monde, a group of 30 French imams insisted that Islam is not anti-Semitic.

“Anti-Semitism in Europe, in France, in Toulouse is no longer just by the far-right, but from political Islam.” — Aviv Zonabend, Deputy Mayor of Toulouse.

An estimated six million people — around one-tenth of France’s population — live in 1,500 neighborhoods classified by the government as Sensitive Urban Zones (zones urbaines sensibles, ZUS).

Hungarian Prime Minister Accuses George Soros of Spreading Anti-Semitism Across Europe

Just days after the George Soros-funded Open Society Foundation announced that it had withdrawn from Hungary and relocated to Berlin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused Soros of fomenting anti-Semitism by aiding immigrants seeking safe harbor in Europe.

Orban’s response was prompted by Lauder’s apparent defense of Soros.

In an interview with German newspaper Bild, Lauder expressed concern about the Berlin move saying while he did not agree “with everything that US billionaire George Soros says or does,” but he considered the treatment of a man “who has done so much” in central European countries to spread democracy after the fall of communism to be unworthy.

In a written response to Ronald Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress, Orban said of Soros, who is Jewish, that:

“I would respectfully call your attention… to the fact that the Foundation and its founder bear personal responsibility for the growth of anti-Semitism in Europe.

They have brought people to Europe — among migrants — whose political and religious views have dramatically increased the vulnerability of our Jewish communities.

In contrast, Hungary and its government protects European Jewish communities when it prevents the uncontrolled entry of migrants into the European Union.

UK: Teachers Admit to Using Emojis to Teach Their Students Shakespeare

Proof schools are being dumbed down?

Teenagers regularly use emojis in their text messages and social media — but the digital icons are now appearing in pupils’ lessons as well.

Some teachers believe that adopting the images — which reflect emotions ranging from grinning to sad faces — help improve youngsters’ learning in the classroom.

However, other educators argue that their regular use in lessons is a ‘moral failing’, which could damage pupils’ chances of long-term educational success.

Charlotte Hodgson, an English teacher at Avonbourne College in Bournemouth, Dorset, has revealed that emojis are ‘embedded’ in her department’s schemes of work.

She told the Times Educational Supplement: ‘Everyone in the English department is using them.

‘I’ve had classes plot the entire summary of a scene in emojis and then they put them on to a graph to show the tension the characters are feeling, and they find quotations to illustrate this, so it builds to become higher-level learning as well.’

“Bring a Knife, Dagger, Or Handgun, “ Kidnap Israeli Civilians, And Murder Soldiers and Settlers — Instructions on Facebook to Gazans for “March of Return”

Two Palestinian Facebook pages and a forum directing rioters in Gaza gave explicit instructions to murder and kidnap Israelis on May 14, the day the US embassy opened in Jerusalem, as well as suggestions on how to accomplish this goal. It is not clear if Hamas itself was the group sending these messages. What is critical is that Gazans were encouraged to bring weapons to the demonstrations and use these weapons to either murder or capture Israelis. Israeli soldiers may have been facing Palestinians who were using the cover of demonstrating civilians to attempt to break through the border with the goal of murdering and kidnapping Israelis.

All 34 Bishops in Chile Suddenly Resign Over “Absolutely Deplorable” Pedophile Priest Scandal

All 34 bishops in Chile have tendered their resignations in the wake of yet another pedophile priest scandal in which high level officials covered up the institutionalized sexual abuse of minors — even threatening officials tasked with investigating sex crimes and the destruction of evidence.

Thirty-one active bishops and three who are signed a document with their offers to resign following an emergency meeting this week with Pope Francis. Francis can accept the resignations one by one, reject them outright or delay a decision.

Calls had mounted for the resignations after details emerged of the contents of a 2,300-page Vatican report into the Chilean scandal leaked early Friday.

Francis had accused the bishops of destroying evidence of sex crimes, pressuring investigators to minimize abuse accusations and showing ‘grave negligence’ in protecting children from paedophile priests.

In one of the most damning documents from the Vatican on the issue, Francis said the entire Chilean church hierarchy was collectively responsible for ‘grave defects’ in handling cases and the resulting loss of credibility that the Catholic Church has suffered. —Daily Mail

“No one can exempt himself and place the problem on the shoulders of the others,” Francis wrote in the document published by Chile’s T13 television and confirmed as accurate Friday by the Vatican.

Responding to the 2,300-page report, Chilean bishops called the contents of the document “absolutely deplorable,” and showed an “unacceptable abuse of power and conscience,” along with sexual abuse.

The bishops asked for forgiveness from the victims, the Pope and all Catholics worldwide.

Pope Francis summoned the entire bishops conference to Rome after he said he made “grave errors in judgement” in the case of Chilean priest Juan Barros — who stands accused of victims of pedophile Rev. Fernando Karadima of witnessing and ignoring their abuse.

But the scandal grew beyond the Barros case after Francis received the report written by two Vatican sex crimes experts sent to Chile to get a handle on the scope of the problem.

Their report hasn’t been made public, but Francis cited its core findings in the footnotes of the document that he handed over to the bishops at the start of their summit this week.

And those findings are damning. —Daily Mail

While some of the pedophile priests and brothers were expelled from their congregations following the discovery of “immoral conduct,” many had their cases “minimized of the absolute gravity of their criminal acts, attributing them to mere weakness or moral lapses,” wrote Francis.

Those same offenders “were then welcomed into other dioceses, in an obviously imprudent way, and given dicoesan or parish jobs that gave them daily contact with minors,” wrote the pope.

They’re Building an Army in Our Backyard! Iranian Terror Group Aligns With 2nd Largest Drug Cartel in Mexico to Wage War on U.S. Citizens

While the media and the Democrat Party are circling the wagons to protect the reputation of MS-13 after President Trump referred to them as “animals”, there’s a story the media is certainly aware of but for some strange reason, is unwilling to disclose to the American public. It’s the story of a very an even more dangerous alliance between two ruthless groups who are working together to wage war against the United States. Meanwhile, Democrats continue to fight tooth and nail to prevent President Trump from securing our southern border, while Sanctuary Cities in America are harboring some of the world’s most dangerous people.

Al Arabiya News tells a frightening story of what’s really happening on the other side of our weak border walls, and its a story that every American needs to know about.

With Hezbollah now well-established in Mexico, it has aligned itself to the ultra-violent Los Zetas drugs cartel, the most sophisticated and second most powerful drug cartel in Mexico, with whom it has developed a strong working relationship, through the illegal drugs industry.

Venezuela’s Episode of Hyperinflation Reaches New “Highs” — Prices Double Every 17.5 Days

The most important price in an economy is the exchange rate between the local currency and the world’s reserve currency — the U.S. dollar. As long as there is an active black-market (read: free market) for currency and the data are available, changes in the black-market exchange rate can be reliably transformed into accurate estimates of countrywide inflation rates—if the annual inflation rates exceed 25%. The economic principle of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) allows for this transformation.

Tucker Carlson: ‘MS-13 is a Living Reminder That the Left’s Position on Immigration is Fundamentally a Lie’

“Why would the left be defending the country’s most violent street gang?”

Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson challenged Democrats that objected to President Donald Trump’s remarks earlier this week about the gang MS-13.

Carlson said the inspiration for that backlash aimed at Trump for those comments was that it challenged the left’s view on immigration — an idea that all immigrants are good.

“Why would the left be defending the country’s most violent street gang?” Carlson said. “Trump has made them irrational. That is part of it. But the left also senses a threat to its basic worldview. MS-13 is a living reminder that the left’s position on immigration is fundamentally a lie. The media tell you every day that every immigrant, legal or not, is a future brain surgeon or tech company founder. Therefore, immigration controls are unnecessary.”

“If they admit MS-13 is bad and must be stopped, they’d have to also admit that when some countries send their people here, they aren’t sending their best,” he continued. “A lot of immigrants are great, for sure. Some are rapists, though. Some join MS-13. That’s just true. They aren’t all the same because people aren’t all the same. That’s the point of our immigration law. They’re not the same. We should sort the good from the bad.”

Updated Social networking site and market-leading data broker Facebook is once again taking heat for playing fast and loose with its access to personal information.

The users note that the change has happened in recent days, leading to speculation that a new feature or update is to blame, and it may not have been intentional.

    What part of making a deal with the devil doesn’t Europe get? Obama tried to buy off Iran and instead we got Revolutionary Guards in Syria on Israel’s doorstep.
