“As long as a culture of tolerance is held above the law in Germany, the country will continue to see murderous acts like the one just seen in Hamburg,” he writes in bestselling broadsheet Die Welt, referring to a supermarket attack by a Palestinian illegal immigrant who killed one and injured several more.

The prize-winning journalist notes that a large proportion of people working in politics, the judiciary, the media, NGOs, and the Church hold the view that migrants who make it to Germany “should be allowed to remain, at any cost”. For this reason, he said the country is effectively operating without any border controls, and so the police and intelligence services have been overwhelmed with an unmanageable volume of “threats” to monitor.

Sodium nitrite is a known cancer-causing chemical that’s being developed by the USDA as a deadly bait that poisons wild hogs to death. Scientific research shows that it increases the risk of pancreatic cancer by 67%, and any chemist knows that if you combine nitrites with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach and the amino acids found in meat, you get nitrosamines, widely used by the pharmaceutical industry to induce cancer in lab rats so that drug companies can test their cancer drugs. Nitrosamines are also widely documented as a highly toxic water contaminant chemical.

The FDA has known about the cancer dangers of sodium nitrite since the 1970s, but the corrupt government agency swept the issue under the rug in order to protect the profits of the processed meat industry. Sodium nitrite is so dangerous that cancer experts have declared processed meat unsafe for human consumption.

Take a closer look at the ingredients for almost any processed meat product in any grocery store, and you’ll find sodium nitrite listed as an ingredient. Meanwhile, global cancer rates are projected to skyrocket 70% over the next 20 years as more and more people consume toxic chemicals in processed foods. Most food consumers are, quite literally, committing food suicide. If you don’t want to kill yourself with cancer, avoid sodium nitrite at all costs.

“It was obvious for me that the solemn atmosphere of the White House would not civilize Trump,” Schulz, a former longtime president of the European Parliament, told the German Der Spiegel weekly, adding that the US president had exceeded his worst expectations.

The candidate for the chancellorship particularly criticized what he called Trump’s “ruthless nepotism” which he said is manifested in the US president’s habit of “putting his family above the law.”

He went on to say that Trump reduces “complex political decisions to just 140 printed characters.” “I really believe that reducing politics to a tweet is dangerous for a US president,” Schulz told Der Spiegel, adding that “Trump is a risk for his land and the whole world.”

The order was issued as a Japanese vessel went to drop its anchor in Djibouti and allegedly sent divers to check out the Chinese warships.  It doesn’t appear that any violence resulted. Nevertheless, the near-scuffle between Chinese and Japanese forces illustrates their growing rivalry for dominance on Africa’s east coast, which is proximal to hydrocarbon-rich waters. 

Japan late last year leased more land to expand its own base in Djibouti to counter China’s influence in Africa. An unnamed Japanese government source told Reuters at the time that "China is putting money into new infrastructure and raising its presence in Djibouti, and it is necessary for Japan to gain more influence." 

The Japanese base in Djibouti first opened in 2011. "No one need be fooled: Japan’s symbolic contingent of 180 [personnel] is a concrete expression of the island nation’s desire to conduct operations far from home in order to meet China’s similarly expanding military capabilities," The American Conservative reported on August 2.

Djibouti is only the size of Wales and is home to about 1 million residents. It has an "open-for-business" policy that allows foreign militaries to set up shop on its soil for a fee. Given its location straddling the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea, it is widely seen as an important military hub. 

Let me ask you a very simple question. What is on your mind today? If you are not preoccupied with work or with family matters, then you are probably thinking about something that you have been fed through the mainstream media.  Just think about this for a few moments.  When you are sitting around the dinner table or you are chatting with someone at work, what do you tend to talk about?  If you are like most people, many of your conversations will be about something that you saw on the news, a new movie that you just watched, or a sporting event that has just happened.

Most of the time, we believe that certain things are important because someone else has told us that they are important. And the most prominent voices of all are the six gigantic media corporations that control about 90 percent of the news, information and entertainment that we get through our televisions. Of course those six corporate behemoths are owned by the elite of the world, and that is why “the news” never seems to change very much no matter where you get it.

It is imperative that we understand that everyone has an agenda.  Every single movie, television show, documentary and news program is trying to shape how you think. Most people out there still don’t seem to realize that the world system is built on a pyramid of lies.  From a very early age, we are told lie after lie, and once you start to “wake up” one of the first responses is often intense anger.

If you don’t know what I am talking about, I would encourage you to start questioning everything.  Once you really start digging, you will quickly discover that many of the “truths” that society takes for granted are not actually so solid after all. If you seek the truth with all of your heart, you will find it, and it will set you free. But breaking free of the programming that the world system is constantly feeding us is the first step, and that is not always easy to do.

The discussion was recorded by one of the interns present and subsequently leaked to Wired, which published Kushner’s entire answer to a question about the White House’s attempts to broker an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord, which US President Donald Trump has repeatedly referred to as the “ultimate deal.” “What do we offer that’s unique? I don’t know,” he said. “I’m sure everyone that’s tried this has been unique in some ways, but again we’re trying to follow very logically. We’re thinking about what the right end state is. And we’re trying to work with the parties very quietly to see if there’s a solution.” 

“And,” he went on, “there may be no solution, but it’s one of the problem sets that the president asked us to focus on. So we’re going to focus on it and try to come to the right conclusion in the near future.” Kushner, a real estate scion who was made a senior adviser to the president — his father-in-law — has been tasked with spearheading the administration’s efforts to negotiate peace. He discussed the process by which he has been trying to make progress, which he said entailed exploring both conventional and unconventional methods.

Mr Trump has long believed that China holds the key to forcing North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons programme, given that Beijing is Pyongyang’s only diplomatic backer and a key trading partner. But Liu Jieyi, China’s ambassador to the United Nations, said: "No matter how capable China is, China's efforts will not yield practical results because it depends on the two principal parties.

"They (the United States and North Korea) hold the primary responsibility to keep things moving, to start moving in the right direction, not China," he told a news conference at the end of China's month-long presidency of the Security Council. Meanwhile, Rex Tillerson, the US Secretary of State said: “China and Russia bear unique and special responsibility for this growing threat to regional and global stability.”

Mr Weatherall, the state premier, wants to maintain the state’s GM-free status, arguing that it is more valuable to the state’s farm economy. Wade Dabinett claimed that “The government has had 10 years to prove the worth of this GM moratorium and to date there has not been anything to justify that position.”

The program also mentioned that the Federal Government’s Productivity Commission has released a report that found no economic or safety justification for the banning of GM crops and recommended all states and territories scrap bans on GM organisms by 2018. Another quotable quote was made by Dr Geoff Fincher, emeritus professor from the University of Adelaide who has been involved in the study of GM crops for over 20 years. Dr Fincher said: “When you really look hard at the evidence of any serious dangers or harm associated with the technology, proven with rigorous and rigid experimentation, you don’t find that evidence.”

I wonder if Fincher, Dabinett and the SA grain producers find as ‘inconvenient truths’ the latest “Monsanto Papers” and the Poison Papers? It seems that no matter how convincing the evidence for harm is, the often used tactic in contentious issues is to raise doubts over that science or deny it altogether.

Regardless of how you feel in regard to the question above, the fact is that it is happening. More than 800 children in the United Kingdom — some as young as 10 — are now being given these controversial sex change drugs. Britain’s National Health Service is prescribing children powerful hormone injections which halt the development of sex organs, breasts, and body hair. These drugs are meant to keep children in a prepubescent state so they can be easier to operate on when they become adults.

For some reason, in 2014, the government removed the age limit for hormone therapy, which was 16. Now, doctors can give these drugs to third and fourth graders and have even considered its use in children as young as 9.

In Britain, the government thinks people aren’t smart enough to make their own decisions on many fronts. For example, they think people should have to wait until they are 18 before they can drink or smoke. However, that same government will give children life changing medication if they claim to identify with a different gender.

The only reason why stocks have been able to perform so well is due to unprecedented intervention by global central banks, but they are not going to be able to keep inflating this bubble forever.  At some point this absolutely enormous bubble will burst and investors will lose trillions of dollars. The only other times we have seen stock valuations at these levels were just before the stock market crash of 1929 and just before the dotcom bubble burst in 2000.

Perhaps this will be the first giant financial bubble in our history to end smoothly, but I wouldn’t count on it. In the end, I expect this one to end just like all of the others.  And I anticipate that the coming crisis will ultimately be worse than anything we have ever faced before because this current bubble has been artificially inflated for so long.

Hopefully stock prices will go up again tomorrow, but it would be exceedingly foolish to ignore all of the warnings.  Goldman Sachs says that there is a 99 percent chance that stocks cannot continue surging like this, and in this case I believe that Goldman Sachs is entirely correct.
