happening again. Just like last time around, the head of the Federal Reserve is telling us that there won’t be a recession even though all of the evidence suggests otherwise. Just before the recession of 2008, Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke told the country that “the Federal Reserve is not currently forecasting a recession” , and shortly thereafter we plunged into the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression of the 1930s. This time, it is Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell that is attempting to prop things up by making positive statements that are not backed up by reality. Speaking to a group at the University of Zurich, Powell insisted that the Fed is “not at all” anticipating that there will be a recession…

American Airlines Mechanic Accused of Sabotaging Flight
MIAMI (AP) — An American Airlines mechanic charged with sabotaging a plane because he was upset over stalled labor contract negotiations was fired from another airline several years ago and briefly had his mechanic’s license suspended, according to court documents.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has been criticised after arguing population control should be part of tackling climate change.

The former Vice President was clearly floundering during CNN’s climate change town hall on Wednesday, which saw him face off against eight other Democrats. Viewers called him out for “rambling, incoherent” answers and held his feet to the fire regarding his coziness with the fossil fuel industry. Then his left eye began filling up with blood.

Big Tech Companies Meet With FBI, DHS, National Security Officials to Discuss 2020 Elections
Facebook, Google, Twitter and Microsoft met with government officials in Silicon Valley on Wednesday to discuss and coordinate on the 2020 US election.
The all-day meeting was held at Facebook’s headquarters in Menlo Park and included security teams from the tech companies, as well as members of the FBI, the office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security.
Tech company representatives and government officials met to “better understand emerging threats and prepare for future elections,” Nathaniel Gleicher, head of Facebook cybersecurity policy, said in a statement.
The companies also discussed how to better share information and further strategic collaboration ahead of the November 2020 state, federal and presidential elections. “Improving election security and countering information operations are complex challenges that no organization can solve alone,” Gleicher said. A person briefed on the meeting, who declined to be identified for confidentiality reasons, told the New York Times that the companies’ CEOs didn’t attend the meeting.

Bill Gates Worked With Jeffrey Epstein to Funnel $2 Million to MIT
The late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein worked with Bill Gates to funnel $2 million dollars to MIT for unspecified projects, donations that the research lab tried to cover up.
“Epstein appeared to serve as an intermediary between the lab and other wealthy donors, soliciting millions of dollars in donations from individuals and organizations, including the technologist and philanthropist Bill Gates and the investor Leon Black,” reports the New Yorker.
“According to the records obtained by The New Yorker and accounts from current and former faculty and staff of the media lab, Epstein was credited with securing at least $7.5 million in donations for the lab, including two million dollars from Gates and $5.5 million from Black, gifts the e-mails describe as “directed” by Epstein or made at his behest.”

Dad Jailed for Criticizing Judge on Social Media
Judge granted custody of man’s son to wife, son later died in her custody
A Michigan dad angered over the death of his two-year-old son went to jail after targeting a local family court judge in social media posts.
In 2017, Jonathan Vanderhagen lost his son after McComb County family court Judge Rachel Rancilio awarded custody of two-year-old Killian to the boy’s mother.
Before that, Vanderhagen had pleaded with Judge Rancilio not to turn the boy over to his mother, who had on multiple occasions demonstrated she was incapable of keeping him safe.
“His lawyer said something is going to happen to this child,” Vanderhagen’s mother, Deborah, told local media WXYZ. “You need to get him away from the mother. There are too many red flags. And the judge said, ‘Oh, that is in the past.’“
According to Vanderhagen, Killian’s mom used drugs during her pregnancy and was responsible for a medical condition the boy suffered when he was born, but police said it was unprovable.
The boy later died while under his mother’s care. A medical examiner deemed the cause of death undetermined.
So, Vanderhagen took to Facebook to get his story out.
He blamed Child Protective Services and the broken court system for his son’s death, and he also blamed Judge Rancilio for awarding custody to the mother who had a long history of dealing with CPS.
Evidently, Judge Rancilio saw the posts and claimed she felt “uncomfortable” and “possibly threatened,” WXYZ reports, prompting the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office to investigate.
“The Macomb County Sheriff’s office responded and found he criticized what Judge Rachel Rancilio pinned on Pinterest as in his opinion inappropriate, posted videos saying he feels she and others responsible for Killian’s death, and blamed the court system for his loss,” reports WXYZ.
Police found Vanderhagen at no time issued threats to the judge, however, they still took him to jail on July 24 claiming he was in violation of “bond conditions.”
He was also charged with malicious use of telecommunications services and his bond has been raised to half a million dollars.
Vanderhagen’s mother says her son is locked up for exercising his rights under the First Amendment, and that he only wants for those responsible to face justice.
“He just wants justice. He don’t want to kill anybody. He don’t want anybody physically hurt. He wants them to acknowledge what they’ve done and get justice,” she said.
Vanderhagen will face a jury trial later this month on September 13.

Dem Rep. Clyburn: The Bill of Rights Wouldn’t Pass in Today’s Climate

“I really believe sincerely — the climate that we’re in today — if the Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments of the United States Constitution, were put before the public today, I’m not too sure that we would hold onto the Bill of Rights,” said Clyburn.
“Especially when I see what people are doing with the Second Amendment and no telling what they would do with the First Amendment,” he added.

Desperate CNN Looks for a New Russia/Trump Conspiracy Theory; CIA Shuts it Down
‘CNN’s narrative is simply false’
Monday night saw CNN attempt to propagate a new conspiracy theory regarding President Trump and Russia. However, it fell flat on its face when the CIA chimed in to point out that it was, once again, total bullsh*t…
The CIA’s director of public affairs, Brittany Bramell, also slammed CNN in a statement, saying “CNN’s narrative that the Central Intelligence Agency makes life-or-death decisions based on anything other than objective analysis and sound collection is simply false.”
“Misguided speculation that the President’s handling of our nation’s most sensitive intelligence—which he has access to each and every day—drove an alleged exfiltration operation is inaccurate.” Bramell added.
“CNN’s reporting is not only incorrect,it has the potential to put lives in danger,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham also commented.
So, in summary, CNN, desperate for ratings and without a Trump/Russia conspiracy theory to push anymore, invented a new one and pushed that fake news to the detriment of US intelligence and potentially the lives of those working in its interest.
CNN staff are driven by a relentless, blind, deranged obsession with opposing Trump, regardless of the consequences. This is not the attitude of a serious news organization, it’s more in line with the behavior of the likes of Antifa.

Eric Trump Publishes Letter From WaPo Writer to Trump Organization Employee Looking for Dirt
Eric Farenthold, a Trump-hating “journalist” working for the Washington Post, sent a letter to “Mr. Mull,” a Trump Organization employee, asking for insider dirt on the Trump family’s successful business. After winning the 2016 election, President Trump turned the reigns of his very successful business to his sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr.
The Trump family has a reputation for treating their employees fairly, and many came out in defense of the family when they were under constant attack by the media during Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
In his letter to “Mr. Mull,” a Trump Organization employee, Farenheldt offered him several ways to anonymously share dirt on the corporation.
What Mr. Farenthold didn’t count on when he sent the letter, was the loyalty Trump’s employees have for their employers. He also didn’t count on Eric Trump taking a page from his father’s playbook and exposing his letter on social media.

Florida Man Friday: The Hurricane Dorian Prepper Edition
Not all men are fit to be Florida Man. Florida wildlife includes meth-crazed alligators, cockroaches that would make a grizzled New Yorker scream like a little girl, an invading army of iguanas, and mosquitoes the size of traffic helicopters.

The state is inhabited by a combustive mix Yankees who think they can stand the heat, foreigners from every corner (???) of the globe unaccustomed to Florida’s ways, and locals who have been around long enough to laugh at it all.
And Florida Man Friday is the day everyone gets to laugh at it all.

George Soros is Lobbying Lawmakers to Take Your Guns Away
There is no other way to say it: politicians and the elitists are coming for your guns. If they can get them from you and convince you to turn them over willingly, they will do so with propaganda. But don’t expect that to be the end of it.
Isn’t it ironic that in order to take away guns from non-violent people, violent people must use guns to do so? It’s hard to believe this escapes the minds of far too many people on this earth. Soros and people in the ruling class certainly want all the control in every situation and it’s much easy to enslave an unarmed populace. This is nothing less than an attempt at complete domination over everyone they think is beneath them.
According to a report by the Free Beacon, liberal billionaire George Soros’s advocacy organizations are lobbying lawmakers on Capitol Hill to repeal an act protecting firearms manufacturers from liability for gun crimes including murder, disclosure forms show. The Open Society Policy Center is Soros’s D.C.-based 501(c)4 nonprofit that works on domestic and international advocacy and is affiliated with the much larger Open Society Foundations. The center has poured nearly $9 million into lobbying a range of issues so far this year.
Soros’ group moved into gun control advocacy and reported lobbying on “issues related to a bill to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.” The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) was passed as a bulwark against frivolous lawsuits attempting to hold gun companies responsible for criminal acts committed by third parties—sometimes decades after the first legal sale of the firearm. The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the gun industry’s trade group, pushed to pass the bill in 2005. The group said the legal protections are necessary to keep gun control activists from bankrupting the industry through suits they believe have no legal standing.

Ghislaine Maxwell: Epstein Files Implicate Hundreds of Vips
Hundreds of powerful people will be implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein child sex scandal, according to Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney.
Lawyers representing Epstein’s alleged “child pimp,” Ghislaine Maxwell, told a judge on Wednesday that as many as 1,000 people, including “celebrities,” are implicated in sealed court documents from a 2015 Jeffrey Epstein lawsuit
The 10,000 pages of documents were part of a 2015 lawsuit by Epstein’s “sex slave” Virginia Giuffre Roberts. Dailymail.co.uk reports: They settled their lawsuit in 2017 and the case docket was made private, keeping all the allegations secret.
In August, in light of the pedophile’s arrest on human trafficking charges, an appeals court ordered that any pages of the case files which represented public interest should no longer be kept secret.
Around 2,000 have been released but thousands more are still under lock and key.

The truth is, Tessa Stuart isn’t interested in understanding why women support Trump, she’s only interested in shaming anyone who doesn’t support her liberal views.
Tessa Stuart, a snarky, feminist, Rolling Stones reporter, recently shared her thoughts on a large Women For Trump event that she attended in Tampa, FL. Tessa Stuart
In her “Art of the Sale: Inside the Room Where Women are Pitching Women on Trump 2020—Is 2020 going to be 2016 all over again?” article that appeared in Rolling Stone, she paints President Trump as a “reality TV star” who can’t hide his contempt for women. From the venue where the Women For Trump event took place, that Stuart described as, “a garish, Babylon Gardens-inspired Eighties mall,” to the women in attendance, Stuart can’t seem to find a single positive thing to say about President Trump or his passionate female supporters.
Any article about Trump, from the perspective of a man-hating feminist, wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the, “grab ‘em by the p***y,” remark that Trump made in confidence with another male, several years before he even considered running for President. Stuart doesn’t disappoint her feminist fans, as she explains how she was sure this ancient quote between two men in private, would sink his presidency. How could any woman vote for such a man?
It’s curious, that the Rolling Stones reporter never asked how any respectable woman could run for president after her husband was impeached for having sex with an intern under the desk of the Oval Office, and was accused more than once, of sexual assault, including the crime of rape.

Mile-High Marxists: Will the Communists Conquer Colorado?
Colorado is suffering under socialism. This once proudly Republican Western state is getting bluer and bluer.
Not only does the state have a far-left governor in Jared Polis, but bona fide Marxists and communists are winning public office in the Denver area and competing statewide.
Denver has a small Communist Party USA club and some Maoist presence in the form of Liberation Road and the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and even a small section of the pro-North Korea Party for Socialism and Liberation. But the real mover and shaker on the Mile-High left is the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).
Despite its “moderate”-sounding name, the DSA is a bona fide communist organization that advocates for the abolition of all prisons, borders, and, through its Green New Deal, all significant private business and the U.S. military.
Colorado has had a tiny DSA presence in Boulder and Denver since the 1980s, but since the “Bernie revolution” in 2016 and the election of President Donald Trump, the small “c” communists have massively increased their number, activity, and influence.

NY Times Praises Mass Murdering Mao as “One of History’s Great Revolutionary Figures”
Forced to delete tweet after backlash.
The New York Times was forced to delete a tweet that praised Communist dictator Mao Zedong — who was responsible for the deaths of around 45 million people — as a “great revolutionary leader.”
Under Mao’s Great Leap Forward policy, over the course of just 4 years between 1958-1962 some 45 million people starved to death, making it the biggest episode of mass murder ever recorded.
Countless other victims also lost their lives as a result of Mao’s ruthless oppression, incarceration and execution of political adversaries who stood in his way.
That historical context was noticeably absent when the NY Times effusively tweeted about how Mao, “died one of history’s great revolutionary figures.”

Former U.S. President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have teamed up with a lifelong Marxist propagandist to distribute a major new documentary for Netflix.
“American Factory” tells the story of a “worker revolt” against Chinese company Fuyao Glass America’s factory in the Dayton, Ohio, suburb of Moraine.
The film premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and has earned very good reviews, with review website Rotten Tomatoes giving it a 96 percent “fresh” certification.
According to the Los Angeles Review of Books:
“The tale is rife with paradoxes: the communists are the capitalists; and the workers from the land of Reagan and Trump channel socialist solidarity as they move to form a union against the wishes of the folks from the People’s Republic.”
The first film distributed by the Obamas’ production company, Higher Ground Productions, “American Factory” has already won the Best Documentary Feature Award at the RiverRun International Film Festival in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
All the rave reviews fail to mention that the Obamas’ partners, the duo who actually produced and directed the film—Ohioans Steve Bognar and Julia Reichert—are longtime leftist “propagandists.”
Reichert, in particular, is a lifelong Marxist who, according to the “Encyclopedia of the Documentary Film,” “focuses on various social issues, like gender and working-class issues, from a socialist perspective.”
The film itself is pro-union and anti-free market. The protagonist is a Chinese billionaire who allegedly treated his American and imported Chinese employees like serfs. He is portrayed as an example of rapacious and heartless “capitalism,” rather than a representative of Chinese communism, which is much closer to the truth.

Researchers Blame Marriage Rate Decline on a “Lack of Economically-Attractive Men”
You can’t make this stuff up. The marriage rate in the United States began steadily falling in the 1980s and has been hovering near record lows in recent years, and much has been written about why this is happening. But now researchers from Cornell University are promoting a shocking new theory that could fundamentally change the nature of the entire debate. According to their new study which was just published in the Journal of Marriage and Family, the primary reason why the U.S. marriage rate has been declining is because there is a “lack of economically-attractive men” . In other words, these researchers are saying that a large number of single men out there are simply not “marriage material” because they are not making enough money. It seems very strange that researchers at an Ivy League university would make such a claim in this day and age, but apparently they are quite serious.
According to the lead author of the study, marriage “is fundamentally an economic transaction” …
“Most American women hope to marry but current shortages of marriageable men—men with a stable job and a good income—make this increasingly difficult, especially in the current gig economy of unstable low-paying service jobs,” said lead author Daniel T. Lichter, PhD, of Cornell University. “Marriage is still based on love, but it also is fundamentally an economic transaction. Many young men today have little to bring to the marriage bargain, especially as young women’s educational levels on average now exceed their male suitors.”
Is what he is saying actually true?
I may be a bit old-fashioned, but to me getting married should be all about love.

Strange Things Are Happening on Epstein Island: Drone Footage
Ever since Jeffrey Epstein’s highly suspicious death in a maximum-security prison, things only got more suspicious. Although the autopsy officially concluded that the cause of death was suicide, a steady flow of facts and revelations are strongly hinting towards a massive cover-up.
First, it was recently revealed that two cameras filming the jail cell of Jeffrey Epstein at the time of his death were “broken” and the recordings were deemed “unusable” by authorities. Second, two guards allegedly “slept through” scheduled checks on Epstein and falsified records. Third, Frenchman Jean-Luc Brunel, the model mogul suspected of being a Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking pipeline in Paris, “has disappeared like a ghost without a trace”.
While mass media has been carefully filtering some of this information while ignoring other facts, the Rusty Shackleford YouTube channel has been providing a raw, unfiltered source of information by posting, on a regular basis, drone footage of Epstein Island and its surroundings.
The footage captured in the past weeks reveals that there are strange things happening on the island. Here are some examples.

Suicide Rates in Rural America Jump, Nearly Half a Million Dead
From 1999 to 2016, the suicide rate of Americans ages 25 to 64 jumped 41%
A new study published last week sounds the alarm on a suicide crisis that is crushing rural America.
From 1999 to 2016, the suicide rate of Americans ages 25 to 64 jumped 41%, researchers noted in JAMA Network Open. The study found Americans living in rural communities had a 25% higher probability of taking their own life than those in cities.
The study, Contextual Factors Associated With County-Level Suicide Rates in the United States, 1999 to 2016, was led by Danielle Steelesmith, a postdoctoral fellow at Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center, said suicide rates have been increasing in rural America thanks to increasing poverty, low incomes, farming bust, deindustrialization, and vast amounts of underemployment.

Surging Homeless Population in Los Angeles Could Spark Increase in Leprosy
With typhoid fever and even the return of the bubonic plague already big concerns, increasing homelessness in Los Angeles could also spark an increase in leprosy.
According to a new study, more leprosy cases are starting to emerge in Los Angeles County, with Dr. Maria Teresa Ochoa of the University of Southern California urging the public to “fight the stigma.”
Leprosy, which is spread through the air but must involve close contact, can cause permanent blindness, severe damage to the body’s skin, nerves, and mucous membranes, as well as deformities.

The media isn’t just the enemy of the democracy of the people. It’s the enemy of a free press.
Bernie Sanders wrapped up his appeal to the media by suggesting a tax on targeted ads to fund “civic-minded media” because, “more than two centuries after the constitution was signed, we cannot sit by and allow corporations, billionaires, and demagogues to destroy the Fourth Estate.”
The Fourth Estate is a European concept. There’s no room in America for a special status for the media (or any other estates). Sanders ignores what the constitution actually says about the press. The First Amendment prohibits Congress from making laws “abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press.”
Freedom of the press doesn’t bestow a special status on the press. It springs from freedom of speech.
That is even more obvious in Madison’s original words, “The people shall not be deprived or abridged of their right to speak, to write, or to publish their sentiments; and the freedom of the press, as one of the great bulwarks of liberty shall be inviolable.” A free press is an expression of everyone’s right to speak out. It is not a special institution that represents the public interest. It is the actual public.
When the Framers wrote of a free press, they meant printers like Benjamin Franklin and his brother, and anyone who wanted to distribute a pamphlet, as well as the small number of larger papers. Their idea of the free press looked a lot like a low-tech internet and had nothing in common with a handful of giant corporate monopolies declaring that they are a journalistic priesthood serving the public interest.

Trump Deceived by Comey Claims of Honesty and Integrity
Comey’s claims of honesty and integrity have been spectacularly demolished
Former FBI Director James Comey was very keen to set President Trump’s mind at ease when they had their one on one White House dinner on January 28, 2017.
Comey told the recently-installed President Trump:
“I explained that he could count on me to always tell him the truth. I said I don’t do sneaky things.I don’t leak. I don’t do weasel moves”
Comey’s propensity to leak—using others to conceal his identity—has been exposed by Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s scathing Report.
Sneaky things and weasel moves by Comey—subsequently uncovered post-dinner—in just the five months prior to his dinner date with Trump include:
[Comment: That he actually said “I don’t do sneaky…” should have been the warning sign. Someone he does not do sneaky things does not need to tell another that he does not do sneaky things.]

It’s no wonder that when two vans filled with gasoline less than a mile away from a venue where Trump is scheduled to speak this week, are discovered, the first thought most Americans have is left-wing terrorism.
The Gateway Pundit reports— The Baltimore County Fire Department has reported that they are on the scene of a second suspicious van carrying 660 gallons of gasoline, hours after one holding 1,000 gallons was found in a parking structure .8 miles from where the House GOP is scheduled to host their retreat on Thursday.

Video Shows Exactly How Hollywood Tries to Bias People Against Guns
John Lott of the Crime Prevention Research Center does a great job in the video below utilizing clips from various TV shows to show the bias toward guns in Hollywood.
Lott begins, “Hollywood hates guns. Well, they like them in shoot-em-up movies. But as soon as it comes to a good civilian using a gun for self-defense, Hollywood turns anti-gun. Hollywood constantly portrays people who hate guns.”
Lott continues, “In Hollywood, even Navy Seals warn against owning guns … the wise law enforcement experts constantly urge people not to use them.” A clip shows a law enforcement agent saying, In my experience, the problem with carrying a gun is that eventually, it will go off.”
Lott states, “But Hollywood gets this backwards. In real life, police strongly support civilians owning guns and carrying them for self-defense. A recent survey by the National Association of Chiefs of Police polled thousands of sheriffs and chiefs of police. 76% believe that qualified, law-abiding armed citizens help law enforcement reduce violent criminal activity. Detroit’s police chief urges people to carry guns…”

Wall Street Journal reporter Kimberley Strassel writes about Democrats who want to go back to the Stone Age.
They want to destroy the coal, oil, and gas industry.
Strassel warns: “When you talk about banning fracking. When you talk about a carbon-free economy by 2030 or 2050, you are saying ‘we are going to kill every coal job in the country, every oil and gas job, all of the shipping jobs that they do — we’re talking about millions of positions,” Strassel said during the “The Journal Editorial Report.”
Strassel notes that the problem this time around is the Democrats are pushing the same thing that earned Hillary Clinton a defeat last time. Remember when Hillary promised to put coal workers out of a job? That was a big mistake!
Strassel is right, and the candidates for president are buying into the climate hoax to pander to the far left:

New Flying Reptile Species Was One of Largest Ever Flying Animals
A newly identified species of pterosaur is among the largest ever flying animals, according to a new study from Queen Mary University of London.
Cryodrakon boreas, from the Azhdarchid group of pterosaurs(often incorrectly called ‘pterodactyls’), was a flying reptile with a wingspan of up to 10 metres which lived during the Cretaceous period around 77 million years ago.
Its remains were discovered 30 years ago in Alberta, Canada, but palaeontologists had assumed they belonged to an already known species of pterosaur discovered in Texas, USA, named Quetzalcoatlus.

But there is something important missing from my story. The girl who was being harassed and the three harassers were all of Arabic or Middle-Eastern descent.
[…]
I told my guy friend Rami from Pakistan about what happened and he told me that this was common in his country. He said that they saw all women as creatures bred for male attention and emotional satisfaction. He said they probably weren’t used to seeing an Arabic woman wearing shorts and that they were most likely new to Canada.

Christians Massacred, Media Look the Other Way
“In the Amazon rainforest, which is of vital importance for the planet, a deep crisis has been triggered by prolonged human intervention, in which a ‘culture of waste’ (LS 16) and an extractivist mentality prevail”, the Vatican stated.
“The Amazon is a region with rich biodiversity; it is multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-religious; it is a mirror of all humanity which, in defense of life, requires structural and personal changes by all human beings, by nations, and by the Church.”
That is why a Synod of Bishops for the Pan-Amazon region has been scheduled to meet in Rome from October 6 to 27. In an interview with Italian paper La Stampa, Pope Francis said that one of the biggest challenges to the Amazon region is the “threat to the life of the populations and territory which derives from the economic and political interests of the dominant sectors of society.”
The program for the Amazon’s synod in Rome talks about “life threatened”, “inculturation and interculturality”, “extractivist destruction” and “indigenous peoples”, among other matters. There is, however, another group of “indigenous people” whose life has been “threatened” and who live under an existential physical “destruction.” They are the persecuted Christians, and the Vatican should dedicate the next synod to them.

Italy Taps Gentiloni for EU Commission
Honoured to contribute to new season says ex-PM
(ANSA) — Brussels, September 5 — Italy has tapped former centre-left Democratic Party (PD) premier Paolo Gentiloni as a candidate for the European Commission, in a communication last night, sources in Brussels said Thursday.
The same sources said Gentiloni was the only name to have been indicated by Rome.
European Commission president-elect Ursula von der Leyen will meet Gentiloni in Brussels Friday, sources said.
Premier Giuseppe Conte’s first cabinet meeting ratified Gentiloni’s candidacy Thursday.
Conte told the cabinet he had given Gentiloni’s name to von der Leyen Thursday.
Gentiloni said: “I thank Premier Giuseppe Conte for the office conferred. It is a responsibility that honours me. I will try with all my might and with my work to contribute to a new positive season for Italy and Europe”.
He said “I love Italy and Europe and I’m proud of the post I have received. Now to work for a better season”.
Centre-left Democratic Party (Pd) leader Nicola Zingaretti said “I’m happy for Paolo Gentiloni who has been tapped as EU commissioner. Excellent choice for Italy which is back to being a protagonist in Europe”.
The PD is the junior partner in the Italian government, whose senior partner is the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S) led by new Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio.

“Even though new elections have been averted for now, the political risk is still significant”, said the US ratings agency.
The formation of the new government, Fitch said, “averts the return to the polls for now but the history of antagonism” between the 5-Star Movement and the Democratic Party “and the possibility of a recurrence of political tensions” represents “a risk” for the duration of Premier Giuseppe Conte’s second executive.

Viktor Orban: Native Population Decline is the “Sickness of Europe”
“Without families and children, the national community will disappear.”
Hungary’s populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban says the “sickness of Europe” is the continent’s native population decline as he urged for more incentives to encourage citizens to have children.
During a speech at Budapest’s 3rd Demographic Summit, Orban warned that the biggest problem Europe faced was demographic suicide.
“Why is this the case? It’s most certainly not because of some sickness of Christian civilization — after all, the number of Christians are rising all around the world. This is a sickness of Europe in general,” he said.
The Prime Minister said that the solution was not to import vast numbers of migrants, asserting, “We must never accept population exchange.”
According to Orban, the remedy should be to ensure that families were financially rewarded for having children, not punished.
“We win only if we can build a system where those who bear children live significantly better than if they hadn’t started a family,” he said.

Caroline Glick: Strengthening the US-Israel Alliance
Should Israel and the US sign a mutual defense treaty? Every few years, this question is raised. And every few years, it is set aside.
In 2000 then prime minister Ehud Barak made signing a mutual defense treaty with the US a central component of his national security strategy. That year, as Barak sought to sell the public his plan to give the Temple Mount to Yassir Arafat and Judea and Samaria to Arafat’s terror armies, he presented the option of signing a mutual defense pact with the US as a reasonable payoff for Israel’s sacrifice for peace.
Barak’s thinking was clear.
True, if the PLO boss had accepted Barak’s peace offer Israel would have been left without its capital and without defensible borders. But there was no reason to worry. The Marines would protect us. At the heart of Barak’s vision of a mutual defense treaty stood his unwillingness to bear the burdens of freedom, power and sovereignty.
The present round of chatter about the prospect of achieving a US-Israel defense treaty was initiated by Republican Senator Lindsay Graham. In opposition to the view of the majority of Israelis and of the 2016 Republican party platform, Graham insists on maintaining allegiance to the so-called “two state solution,” despite its hundred-year record of continuous failure.
Still Graham is no foe of Israeli sovereignty and military might. To the contrary. Graham played a decisive role in convincing President Donald Trump to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. So it is inconceivable that Graham shares Barak’s post-Zionist vision of a defenseless Israel protected by Uncle Sam.
Moreover, according to media reports, ahead of the September 17 elections Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is making an effort to convince President Trump to make a statement in favor of a new US-Israel defense treaty. Since Netanyahu’s diplomatic policies and his strategic vision of Israel are diametrically opposed to those Barak advanced, it is impossible to imagine that Netanyahu shares Barak’s vision of the purpose of a defense treaty.
What then could be the purpose of a defense treaty? What sort of rearrangement of Israel’s defense ties with the US would advance those ties to both countries’ mutual advantage?…

Iran Announces Advanced Centrifuges, Threatens to Step Up Enrichment
Iran on Saturday announced that it possesses arrays of advanced centrifuges prohibited under the 2015 nuclear deal, and can enrich uranium “much more beyond” current levels — up to and including weapons grade material — while denying they seek to make them, according to the Associated Press.
Separately, Iran acknowledged that it had seized yet another ship and detained 12 Filipino crewmembers, while Satellite evidence revealed that an Iranian tanker is now off the coast of Syria despite Iran’s promise not to sell oil there.
Speaking to journalists in front of the new centrifuges, Behrouz Kamalvandi of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran threaened to push enrichment far beyond levels ever achieved by the Islamic Republic. Prior to the 2015 deal, Iran only reached up to 20% enrichment — not high enough to create nuclear weapons.

Turkish Court Sentences Anti-Erdogan Leader to Nine Years
For tweets with ‘offense to president’, ‘terrorist propaganda’
ISTANBUL — A Turkish court on Friday sentenced Canan Kaftancioglu, president of the Istanbul provincial branch of opposition CHP party and close advisor to Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, to nine years, eight months and 20 days in jail on five different charges including “terrorist propaganda”, “offense to the president” Recep Tayyip Erdogan, and “offense to the Turkish Republic”.
The charges leading to Kaftancioglu’s conviction were linked to 35 tweets she posted between 2012 and 2017.
The court ruled that it didn’t suspend the sentence due to Kaftancioglu’s “behavior during the trial” and the fact that “she didn’t show remorse”.
However, there is currently no warrant for her arrest.
According to sources within CHP, based on Turkish law Kaftancioglu won’t be held in jail because the first-instance convictions for the individual crimes are under five years.
The case will now go to appeal, where a decision must be made “within six months”.
Kaftancioglu’s trial began immediately after the opposition’s second victory in Istanbul municipal elections, wresting power from pro-Erdogan forces after 25 years.
Mayor Imamoglu attended the hearing on Friday in a show of solidarity.
Kaftancioglu supporters from around the country, including CHP presidents from each of the 80 Turkish provinces, gathered in front of the courthouse in a show of support.
CHP said the trial was revenge for “the devastating image damage” inflicted on Erdogan’s power “by this woman politician”.
Kaftancioglu is considered one of the principal architects of the electoral victories in the province of Istanbul.

Fat Liberal Stabs 3-Year-Old Blond Children in the Face in Tbilisi Georgia Because They Are White
A fat liberal landwhale “artist” who stabbed a three-year-old boy in the face and then tried to slash at his sibling’s face in front of his horrified parents has been arrested in Georgia. The 51-year-old was filmed on Pekini Street in Tbilisi walking past the parents with their two little children on Tuesday evening.
Footage shows her approaching the three-year-old boy, who is holding his mother’s hand, and slashing the child across the face.
Afterwards she begins marching off before turning on her heels and going after their second child, who is swiftly shielded by the father…
Despite such a heinous act, the liberal mainstream media is protecting her identity, they keep calling her “a woman” or “the woman”…
They know her exact age but they don’t know her name… right!
Furthermore the media is blurring her face to protect her identity. So this is what you have these days, murderers of children are protected by the system but an uncensored picture did escape thanks to the Georgian Journal.

New Species of Beaked Whale Discovered in Japan
For years, whalers in Hokkaido, Japan have described sitings of an unidentified whale, locally referred to as ‘kuro-tsuchi’, or the ‘black Baird’s beaked whale’ due to its resemblance to the Baird’s beaked whale found in the same area. Now, using DNA sequencing and physical comparisons, scientists have confirmed the ‘black Baird’s beaked whale’ is, indeed, a new species — Berardius minimus.

Paleontologists Have Discovered a New Species of ‘Lethargic’ Dinosaurs in Japan
An almost, complete fossil of a new dinosaur species from the Cretaceous Period was unearthed by scientists in Japan. Kamuysaurus japonicus is a completely new ‘type species’ related to the hadrosaurs species. The name kamuysaurus was derived from the word, ‘kamuy’ which means deity in Ainu, a Japanese language isolate and japonicus signifies its discovery in Japan.
The fossils were excavated from a 72-million-year-old marine deposit in Mukawa Town in Northern Japan. The dinosaur was first discovered in 2013 on the outer shelf deposits of the Upper Cretaceous Hakobuchi Formation in the Hobetsu district. Initially, a part of the tail was discovered through excavation processes and an almost complete skeleton was found. It is the biggest ever dinosaur fossil found in Japan, thus, the name Kamuysaurus japonicus, which roughly translates to Deity Of Japanese Dinosaurs.

Study: The Only Place on Earth More Surveilled Than London is Communist China
There is no correlation between safety and surveillance
A new study by research website Comparitech has found that London is the 6th most surveilled city on the planet, with the top five cities all being in Communist China.
The study looked at 120 cities globally, and found that the top ten with most public CCTV cameras per 1,000 inhabitants were practically all in China.
Central Chinese city Chongqing tops the list with 168 public cameras per 1000 inhabitants. The study found that by 2022, China is projected to have one public CCTV camera for every two people
Another four Chinese cities, including Shanghai, make up the top five… and then it’s London with 68.4 cameras per 1000 inhabitants.

US Chamber of Commerce Sends Delegation to China to Discuss Trade — But Who Are They Helping?
The US Chamber of Commerce sent a delegation to China this week in an attempt to undermine President Trump’s trade negotiations with the communist regime.
The Chamber has been at odds with President Trump’s attempts to reign China in from its illegal trade practices. Millions of US jobs have been lost to China since the US opened its doors to the regime decades ago. President Obama lectured Americans that these jobs are not coming back. President Trump is working to make trade with China a level playing field.
The Chamber has not been supportive of President Trump’s actions with China nor to American workers.

Black Slavery Exists Today in Muslim-Dominated African Nations
Black slavery is rampant in these Muslim-dominated African countries, but no one is talking about it.
Today, an estimated 529,000 to 869,000 black men, women and children are still slaves. They are bought, owned, sold, and traded by Arab and Muslim masters in five African countries. This statistic estimates those enslaved in Algeria, Libya, Mauritania, and Sudan. It excludes Nigeria, for which there are no tangible estimates.

Civil War Erupts in South Africa Against Black Immigrants, Then Diverted to Anti-White
South Africa appears to be suffering from an open border crisis under the black government. This has led to rioting and good old-fashioned machete gangs of local South Africans attacking Nigerian migrants.
New York Times:
Pop stars have announced a boycott. Air Tanzania has suspended flights to Johannesburg. Madagascar and Zambia are refusing to send their soccer teams. Nigeria has recalled its ambassador and pulled out of a major economic forum.
South Africa is facing a backlash after rioters in and around Johannesburg targeted immigrants from other African countries this week, torching their shops and leading to at least 10 deaths. Now, angry citizens and governments across the continent are lashing out at South Africa and its businesses, denouncing what they call “xenophobia.”
Africans across the continent once rallied behind South Africans in their struggle to defeat the apartheid government, which was finally replaced in elections held 25 years ago. Now, some Africans find themselves in the unfamiliar position of protesting the actions of the same communities in South Africa that they once stood with in solidarity.
The New York Times is skirting around the issue because it isn’t PC, but basically, blacks are butchering other blacks and it’s absolutely hilarious to see the rainbow nation’s multicultural democratic values of peace in action.
This wasn’t supposed to happen, but it did.

Ethiopia: Ethnic Strife Threatens Church’s Unity
Simmering ethnic strife in Ethiopia has reached the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Nationalists of the biggest ethnic group, the Oromo, are threatening to split the church. Developments are bound to further undermine unity.
It started out as a legitimate grievance, Reverend Daniel Seifa Michael acknowledges: “There are issues that they have raised which are really of concern. Like the church has to be strong in the evangelical services in the Oromo communities. And the church has to provide Oromo language services,” the head of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (EOC’s) foreign affairs department told DW. But he added that the solution cannot come from the outside and must be part of an internal administrative process.
The man behind the drive to create a separate Oromo Orthodox Church is the Reverend Qesis Belay. Over the weekend, he gave the EOC a deadline of 30 days to comply with his demands. He has the support of Oromian politicians like Milkessa Midhaga, head of the Oromia Land Use Bureau, who wrote on his Facebook page: “I had several meetings in government capacity with church and mosque officials in Oromia in Afaan Oromo. The Orthodox church officials had rarely understood the objective of the meetings, as a result minimal participation, due to language problems.”

Newly Identified Electric Eel Species is Most Shocking Animal Ever
Genetic data has revealed several distinct electric eel species living throughout South America, including the most shocking eel (and animal) discovered yet.
Scientists have assumed that the electric eel comprised a single species, ever since taxonomist Carl Linnaeus first described the creature 250 years ago. But researchers examining specimens from across South America have revealed that eels found in different waters diverge in shape, genetics, and even their ability to produce electric shocks. Electric eels secretly being multiple species all along only confirms that there’s a ton of biodiversity in the world that we don’t yet know about.

An investigation by the Daily Caller has found that the Trump administration hasn’t built any ‘new’ sections of the wall on the U.S. border with Mexico.

The administration said that it considered these replacement structures to be a priority over actually building a “new linear miles” wall.

According to right-wing Progress Party, this indicates that integration doesn’t occur automatically, and that Norway must “make more demands” to solve this problem.

According to figures from Statistics Norway, Norwegian-born men with a Somali family background within the age bracket of 15-35 have a 4.6 times higher rate of violent crime. Men with Iraqi backgrounds have a 4 times higher rate. The same pattern is seen among Moroccan Norwegians (3.2), Turkish Norwegians (2.8) and Pakistani Norwegians (2.4).
“There are significantly higher rates among immigrants for certain types of offences, such as mistreatment in close relationships. And significantly lower for other types, such as embezzlement”, Sigmund Book Mohn of Statistics Norway told the newspaper Aftenposten.

22 Surveys Which Prove That Americans Never Want to Go Back to the Way America Used to be
For a long time a great battle has been fought to determine the future direction of this country, and at this point one thing has become exceedingly clear. America is never going to be the country that it once was. Of course for millions of Americans this is actually very welcome news, but for those of us that have been working so hard for so long to restore the values that this nation was founded upon, it is incredibly sad to finally come to this realization. In order for America to return to her glory days, our nation would need to embrace the values that once made our nation so great, and the truth is that the American people have resoundingly rejected those values. This is especially true for our young people, and it won’t be too long before they are running everything. The other side has control of our education system, of our major media outlets, of our entertainment industry and of our legal system. They are literally systematically training future generations what to think, and that has proven to be an insurmountable advantage. The “culture war” has been over for a long time, and they won. But that doesn’t mean that the broader conflict is over.
A lot of people reading this article will be tempted to think that this is a Republican/Democrat thing, but that is not true at all. In fact, the truth is that many lawmakers that are considered to be “conservatives” today would be considered to be flaming liberals by our founders. Ultimately, nearly all of our political leaders have fundamentally rejected the values that so many previous generations of Americans fought so hard to defend. The United States has been overthrown, but it wasn’t by a foreign power. We have been conquered from within, and it was a very slow process, but now their victory is almost entirely complete.
If you doubt this, I would like for you to take a few moments to consider the following numbers. The following are 22 surveys which prove that Americans never want to go back to the way America used to be…
#1 According to an American Bar Association survey, only 38 percent of all Americans know that the U.S. Constitution is the highest law in the land.
#2 According to a new survey that was conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, 76 percent of Americans support “red flag” gun laws.
#3 A recent Rasmussen survey discovered that 28 percent of all Democrats actually believe that it should be “illegal” to be a member of the NRA.

Global Alliance of Religions Joins Push for UN Agenda 2030
About a thousand representatives of world religions and other organizations gathered in Germany in late August to advance globalism and a planetary uniting of religions to promote the United Nations’ so-called masterplan for humanity known as UN Agenda 2030. Critics expressed alarm that self-proclaimed religious leaders were embracing dangerous world “order” ideas totally at odds with liberty and Christianity. The implications are massive.
The controversial 10th World Assembly of Religions for Peace, backed by George Soros and the globalist-controlled German government and other powerful forces, aimed to unify the world’s religious organizations behind key elements of the establishment’s agenda — including a UN-guided “modern order.”
Operating in almost 100 nations, the alliance claims to be “the world’s largest and most representative coalition of religious and indigenous communities.” It is funded by Soros, the Rockefellers, the Ford Foundation, the UN Foundation, various UN agencies, U.S. taxpayers via the State Department, and more.
Among other decisions, the coalition vowed to increase cooperation among their religious sects under the guise of caring for “the earth,” the “entire web of life,” and what participants described as the “common good.” The common good includes “earth with its air, water, soil, and web of life.” Central to it all, by their own admission, is the totalitarian UN Agenda 2030 and the increasingly discredited man-made global-warming hypothesis claiming CO2 is pollution.

New ‘Cuck’ Movie Vilifies Conservatives as Radicalized, Loser Incels
Comments and likes on YouTube trailer disabled to prevent criticism.
A new movie called ‘Cuck’ centers around a radicalized right-winger who is forced to take a job as a literal cuckold in porn films in what appears to be an attempt to vilify conservatives as resentful, loser incels.
The trailer for the movie features an out of shape millennial — Ronny — who blames his financial woes on minority immigrant groups and a “false sense of diversity” that plagues America…
The President and CEO of Red Arrows Studios, the company behind the film, is James Baker, who previously worked for Current TV, Al Gore’s TV network. He also worked for MTV the BSkyB network, which is a subsidiary of Comcast.
In anticipation of a bombardment of negative feedback, comments and likes on the YouTube trailer were disabled.
The film appears to play off of mainstream media hysteria about white supremacists and pushes the notion that online ‘hate speech’ needs to be censored to prevent violent radicalization.

Our country is being dismantled, systematically, methodically. It has been going on for a long time, with patience and stealth, since at least the sixties and it is happening from within. Almost everything the Left needs to finish is now in place.
A recent Washington Times op-ed listed a set of conditions that are needed to destroy a nation. Anyone who reads the conditions and compares them with what is now happening and yet disagrees is either not looking or doesn’t want to see. I have added some that I felt were omitted or needed to be included. Some will overlap.
The first condition is to destroy the religion that holds the country together…Christianity. Churches have been decimated by liberal theology…ministers, priests and lay persons preaching their own gospel, counting money instead of souls saved.
?The destruction of the nuclear family that produces stable children, wholesale abortion…avowed Communist presidential candidates insisting on exporting abortion around the world, demeaning life, redefining marriage…welfare to a point where the father is no longer needed with whole generations of broken families dependent on the government.
Selling maleness as toxic. They are actively feminizing the male population, making us less able to defend ourselves. They turned the finest military in the world into what was labeled a ‘social experiment’. But, in reality it was not an experiment at all. It was their way to knowingly destroy it.
Our education system has been decimated. Marxist teachers and professors are everywhere. Young people are being bombarded constantly with secular socialist propaganda, teaching the young to be non-judgmental. Accept every form of degeneracy. Children come home from school questioning their grandparent’s values because many of their parents are already on board. They are no longer taught Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Lincoln, Judeo-Christian values. Instead they are taught Malcolm X, Lenin, Mao and the transsexual that reads to them at the local library. Government schools have virtually eliminated parental authority.

Satanist Murderer “Wanted to be a Demon”
Two men killed and buried in backyard of devil worshipper
The former best friend of a self-proclaimed Satanist who brutally murdered two men and buried them in his backyard is speaking out about his ex-companion’s evil ways.
The friend, Matt Flowers, said 31-year-old murder suspect Pazuzu Ilah Algarad “wanted to be a demon,” and that he changed his name to Pazuzu in homage to the demon from the movie “The Exorcist.”
Algarad, who bragged about committing animal sacrifices, rape and murder, was originally named John Lawson.
In 2014, Algarad was charged with first-degree murder and with helping to bury another dead man after the remains of two men were found in the backyard of his Clemmons, North Carolina home.
The deceased men, Joshua Wretzler and Tommy Welch, were both drifters who went missing in 2009.
However, the case never made it to trial as Algarad committed suicide in jail in 2015.
Upon learning about the suicide, Flowers said, “Pazuzu had always told me he would kill himself if he ended up in jail and couldn’t do his rituals each month on the dark moon.”

The flaws of socialism are somewhat hidden in countries that enacted socialism after they were wealthy, but in countries that instituted it when they were poor, the trends are clear.
With much of the world adopting socialism in some form, it can be difficult to generalize about what socialism actually is. Socialist countries such as Sweden, Sri Lanka, and North Korea are worlds apart, featuring very different climates, cultures, and standards of living. The reason for this illusion of diversity is that the starting point for socialism is so different from one country to the next. Some countries adopt socialism after having amassed a lot of wealth via the free market, while others adopt socialism in the hopes that it will somehow lift them out of longstanding poverty and degraded standards of living. For some, socialism is imposed suddenly and violently, as with Soviet Russia and Communist China. For others, it makes its appearance incrementally, over several generations, corroding wealth and social mores so gradually that many fail to notice its encroachments. Finally, its effects are harder to sort out in countries, such as China, where the culture is predisposed toward collectivism.

Students Prevented From Attending UK School Because They Refuse to Wear “Gender Neutral” Uniforms
School told girls they could no longer wear skirts.
Female students at a school in the UK were prevented by officials and police from attending class because they refused to comply with a new “gender neutral” uniform policy.
Around 100 students protested outside the gates of Priory School in Lewes in response to a letter sent at the end of the summer advising they would be mandated to wear trousers at all times.
The school claimed that the policy change was put in place to “address inequality,” and be “inclusive,” but students and parents were outraged.
Maria Caulfield MP for Lewes asserted it was “ridiculous” to tells girls they couldn’t wear skirts.
“It is political correctness gone mad,” she said.

Drug addiction, alcohol abuse and degeneracy are all exploding.
You’d think conservatives would be more vehement in promoting social conservatism.
Instead, they appear to be doing the exact opposite.

YouTube Censorship Ramps Up as 17,000 Channels Removed
YouTube has been criticized by the political establishment for not censoring enough of their users, so like cattle falling in line, the company removed over 17,000 channels and 100,000 videos for “hate speech.” They used their definition and the political elitists’ definition of hate speech: things said that don’t support the official government narrative.
While some applaud the censorship, others see it for what it is: the cornerstone of tyranny.
