MIDDLE EAST - Talk of any US-led initiative to revive Israeli-Palestinian negotiations is a “delusion,” charged Palestinian official Mahmoud Aloul, a Fatah deputy to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Aloul, considered one of the candidates to succeed Abbas as the head of Fatah, said in an interview with Saudi news site Elaph regarding the visit of an American delegation last week in Israel that, “These visits haven’t led to any results. We aren’t deluding ourselves; there can be no advancement in the peace process with the right-wing Israeli government under the leadership of Netanyahu.”
USA - In a sign that antifa anarcho-Marxists are ramping up the purge of historic monuments, they are now adding Indian fighters to their hit list. On Friday morning, the statue of Colonel William Crawford outside Crawford County Courthouse in Ohio was found decapitated. Colonel Crawford fought alongside General George Washington in various encounters against the British in the American Revolution. But, problematically in the eyes of leftists, he was also a veteran of British military campaigns with Native Americans in the French and Indian War, Pontiac’s Rebellion and Lord Dunmore’s War.
USA - Israel’s consul general in Houston said Monday that people were living like “cavemen” in the city as a result of the flooding brought on by the heavy rains from Harvey, saying many residents of America’s fourth-largest city were stuck without food, water and electricity. “It is like they returned to being cavemen. Everyone is waiting for it to end,” Gilad Katz told Israel Radio, adding that many homes will need to be gutted and rebuilt because of the flooding. He said that as a result of the rising water levels, many people were stranded in their homes and would not be able to leave until the water begins to recede. The director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Brock Long, predicted that the aftermath of the storm would require FEMA’s involvement for years.
RUSSIA - In June last year President Putin banned Jacob Rothschild and his New World Order banking cartel family from entering Russian territory “under any circumstances,” and now, just over one year later, Putin has declared “total independence” from the global banking cartel and Rothschild international money lending organizations. Declaring the achievement the “greatest gift” that can be given to future generations, Putin hosted a party in the Kremlin to celebrate the achievement.
USA - Psychiatric drug use is on the rise in the US, with one out of every six Americans now taking some type of medication in this category. This is highly concerning given the scary side effects and poor effectiveness of many of these drugs, but there is one particularly disturbing aspect of this trend that seems to get glossed over, and that is the extraordinary number of children who are taking such drugs.
USA - The current phase of the decades-long US-North Korea standoff began this past July 4, when North Korea launched its first genuine intercontinental ballistic missile. In a statement, North Korea’s dictator Kim Jong-un called it “a gift for the American bastards.” Then, on August 8, President Donald Trump terrifyingly declared that “North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.” Two days later, he said, “Maybe that statement wasn’t tough enough” and tweeted that “military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded.”
USA - In 2015 numerous publications including Fox News, Bloomberg, and Forbes reported that George Soros owed billions of dollars in unpaid taxes after finding ways to avoid the IRS. Fox News reported: George Soros may soon face a monumental tax bill — of nearly $7 billion — after years of playing hard-to-get with the IRS. Despite Soros having advocated for higher taxes on the wealthy, the liberal billionaire reportedly has delayed paying his own for years thanks to a loophole in US law. Forbes reports that Donald Trump has an estimated net worth of $4.5 billion which would mean that George Soros potentially owes more money than Donald Trump is worth.
USA - It’s obvious at this point that Hollywood has a nefarious agenda with its entertainment programming, and the latest perversion being pushed at breakneck speed is transgenderism. Movies, television shows, and even news reports are all increasingly pushing transgenderism as normal, something that a new study says is actively changing the way that the public thinks about this issue.
CANADA - Canada will begin offering a third gender option on the country’s passports and immigration documents at the end of this month. Ahmed Hussen, Canada’s immigration minister, announced that the new gender designation ‘X’ would come into effect from August 31. “By introducing an ‘X’ gender designation in our government-issued documents, we are taking an important step towards advancing equality for all Canadians regardless of gender identity or expression,” Hussen said in a statement Thursday. The move follows similar calls to introduce the gender-neutral designation from LGBT rights groups around the world.
USA - A mammoth rescue operation was under way across southern Texas on Sunday, as emergency services responded to thousands of calls for help a day after Hurricane Harvey barrelled ashore with 130mph winds and torrential rain. Two people were confirmed dead, a number that is expected to rise as emergency workers followed up multiple reports of missing or stranded individuals.
USA - The media and George Soros are all in on starting a civil war, or widespread civil unrest. The rallies are scheduled and set up by fake right wing activists, then paid Antifa protestors are sent in to start fights. Soros pays both sides. They are then joined by fools who think the whole thing is real.
VATICAN - Pope Francis’ top aide says a pro-Islamic State group video that targets the pope is worrying but notes Vatican security is already at a high level. Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Holy See’s Number 2 official, told reporters Saturday that a day earlier he had seen the video, which indicates the pope is a target. Recently, another video, transmitted on the pro-IS Telegram channel, suggested that Italy is the next target of an extremist attack. Parolin said: “Obviously, one cannot help but worry, above all for the senseless hatred that it is.” But he said the Vatican hasn’t added more measures to its already high security.
USA - On October 31, 1517, the monk and theologian Martin Luther posted his “95 Theses” to the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, protesting the Roman Catholic Church’s practice of asking payment or “indulgences” for forgiveness of sins. It was the start of what would become known as the Protestant Reformation.
USA - A landmark study conducted by researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center found that sugary cereals cause more harm than initially perceived. Almost all people are aware that these breakfast staples contribute to the growing obesity epidemic due to their high sugar content; yet scientists are now tracing a link between cereals and early puberty.
UK - Provident Financial has lost two-thirds of its stock market value in a day, after the doorstep lender was hit by a “quadruple whammy” of body blows. The company, which specialises in lending to people in financial difficulty, issued its second profit warning in two months, parted company with its chief executive and cancelled a dividend for shareholders. It also announced that it is facing a regulatory probe by City watchdog the Financial Conduct Authority into the sale of a product that allowed people to freeze their credit card debt. The perfect storm of bad news for investors sent shares in the sub-prime lender plummeting more than 66%, wiping nearly £1.7 billion off its stock market value.
