USA - President Trump may be chief of state, head of government and commander in chief, but his administration is shot through with disloyalists plotting to bring him down. We are approaching something of a civil war where the capital city seeks the overthrow of the sovereign and its own restoration. Thus far, it is a nonviolent struggle, though street clashes between pro- and anti-Trump forces are increasingly marked by fistfights and brawls. Police are having difficulty keeping people apart. A few have been arrested carrying concealed weapons. That the objective of this city is to bring Trump down via a deep state-media coup is no secret. Few deny it.

EUROPE - The eurozone economy will still need to be supported by the central bank's massive money-printing programme well into 2019, a top investment bank has predicted. The European Central Bank (ECB) has already pledged to continue injecting billions of euros into the economy every month until the end of this year. But monetary policymakers are likely to continue with the bond-buying programme, or so-called Quantitative Easing (QE) for another two years, according to Societe Generale.  SocGen now predicts the bank will announce an extension later this year, in a move that could antagonise Germany.

EUROPE - Lord Jacob Rothschild has accidently admitted that the plan for the New World Order is collapsing according to a new report. The Rothschild empire is now looking at fresh financial turmoil as suggested by the RIT Capital Partners 2016-year-end report, which could also have a huge effect for the rest of the planet. Jacob Rothschild also recently announced that he is to buy up all remaining gold to replace stock market and currency exposure, which signals the biggest financial crash since the Lehman Brothers crash in 2008. According to the report, Rothschild and his very powerful family have a vested interest in preserving their assets.

POLAND - When President Donald Trump travels to Poland this week to meet with its embattled president Andrzej Duda, the two will have a lot to talk about. Both are alternately ridiculed and pilloried in the international press and both are intensely disliked at European Union headquarters in Brussels.

USA - If Jim Rogers is right, the worst stock market crash that any of us has ever seen is right around the corner.  For the past 15 years, Rogers has been a frequent guest analyst on CNBC, Fox News and elsewhere, and he is immensely respected for the depth of knowledge and experience that he brings to the table.  So the fact that he is warning that we are about to see the worst stock market crash in any of our lifetimes is making a lot of waves in the financial community. 

EUROPE - Are calls for European common defense just following the path of NATO and will serve as an offensive alliance in all corners of the world? This must be explained, says Willy Wimmer, European security expert and former German Deputy Defense Secretary. Europe’s largest military powers can’t defend it from external threats; and the protection of the region can’t be “outsourced,” EC chief Jean-Claude Juncker said.

GERMANY - With Vladimir Putin destabilising the east, Middle Eastern and Asian conflicts spurring new migration into Europe, and Donald Trump questioning US commitment to NATO, Germany has good reason to feel insecure. Chancellor Merkel told Germans in May that "we must fight for our future ourselves as Europeans".

NORTH KOREA - North Korea hinted it may test-fire an ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile) in the near future, state media says, adding that the missile will help Pyongyang tackle the “hostile policy of the US,” as Washington never “dared to go to war with a country that possesses nuclear weapons or ICBMs.” “The series of recent strategic weapons tests show that we are not too far away from test-firing an intercontinental ballistic missile,” North Korean Rodong Sinmun official newspaper said, according to South Korean media. According to the Pyongyang paper, the great success of test-firing an ICBM “will mark a historic watershed moment in the failure of the US hostile policy.”

GERMANY - German politician and deputy of the European Parliament Udo Voigt sent a request to the European Commission to examine the legality of Germany's membership in the European Union (EU). In his opinion, Germany has limited sovereignty and thus did not have the right to sign treaties on accession to the EU.

QATAR - Ynetnews reports: In light of the Arab boycott of Qatar due to its support for terrorism, Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said in an interview with the Russian RT channel during his visit to Moscow that in the eyes of Arab countries, Hamas is a legitimate resistance movement. However, he added that Hamas would no longer be governed from Qatar and in fact confirmed that its members were no longer in the Gulf state. “Now the leadership of the movement is in Palestine, but Qatar is responsible on behalf of its international partners to support the Palestinian cause.”

CHINA - Chinese police destroyed a church after dragging worshippers out of the building and beating them in the street. The Chinese Communist Party has launched a major crackdown on religion in recent months in an attempt to oppress religious freedom and exercise control. Churches not sanctioned by the government have been put under surveillance with hundreds of Christians arrested for disturbing public order for offences such as holding bible study groups and displaying crucifixes outside their homes. There have been reports of Christians being banned from praying, singing hymns, crosses removed from buildings and people arrested for attending church services.

ISRAEL - As the summer heat engulfs the country, this settlement northeast of Shiloh in the northern West Bank has been riding out a water crisis for the fourth consecutive year. As to who was causing the problem, Hashash did not mince her words: “Arabs from the surrounding villages, such as Kusra, steal the water by drilling dozens of holes into the pipeline to reroute it all for themselves.” Still, she sought to clarify that she was not blaming entire Palestinian villages, such as neighboring Kusra. “They are not my enemies. Many of our residents do their shopping there. My repairman is from Kusra,” Hashash pointed out. “They are suffering from this problem as well.”

ISRAEL - In the source article you will see a little girl atop a man’s shoulders. This is what our children are being exposed to in these end times. Israel is supposed to be the “Holy Land”, but it is anything but “Holy” in our time. Over 200,000 people packed Tel Aviv streets on Friday for the annual LGBT Pride Parade, making it the largest ever pride parade in the Middle East or Asia, according to the Tel Aviv-Jaffa Municipality. The parade began at Meir Park in central Tel Aviv where thousands of activists, revelers, and everyone in between donned rainbow colored outfits and waved LGBT flags. Marchers banged drums, blew bubbles, and danced in the street, creating a slow moving street party that concluded at the beachfront Charles Clore Park.

USA - A Missouri school district superintendent found himself in hot water last month after he after invited the crowd at a high school commencement to stand as he recited a “blessing” — a move that angered some graduates. “I came there to graduate, not go to church. It kind of ruined the rest of my night,” senior Preston Schaeffer told the Springfield News-Leader last month. “That was the last night of my high school experience, and he chose to talk about religion instead of graduation.” Medlin — who months ago announced his intention to retire effective June 30 — was told by the Willard school board Tuesday to leave his position early, the News-Leader reported. [Only] Four students contacted the News-Leader in May to complain about Medlin’s address...

USA - President Donald Trump’s pick for the Office of Management and Budget’s deputy director post was grilled not for his budgetary principles, but for his Christian faith by former Democrat presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders. During a hearing of the Senate Committee on the budget this week, Sanders essentially told nominee Russell Vought that Christians are bigoted and, therefore, should not serve in public office.
