The North Koreans have warned us that if we strike them they will respond by firing missiles at South Korea, Japan, Guam and potentially even targets in the continental United States. It would be a war in which potentially millions of people could die, and in the end there would be no “winner”. If a single North Korean nuke detonated in Seoul, Tokyo or another major city, it would be a disaster on a scale never seen before in modern human history.

I hope that people start waking up, because we are getting closer to war with North Korea with each passing day. Earlier this week, President Trump threatened North Korea with “fire and fury” if the North Koreans didn’t back down. North Korea almost immediately responded by threatening to bomb our military bases on Guam.

Yes, the United States could defeat North Korea militarily, but in the process millions (or even tens of millions) of people could die, and such an outcome is absolutely unthinkable.

The United States power establishment has an extensive history of using lies, false flags and propaganda to manipulate its hundreds of millions of citizens into supporting needless military interventionism. Of course the United States government and its minions are lying about North Korea, Johnstone reminds us. They ALWAYS lie!

She writes: “From the Gulf of Tonkin incident to the false Nayirah testimony to the amazing network of lies spun about Saddam Hussein to the 'humanitarian' intervention in Libya to the unconscionable Bana Alabed psy-op in Syria, there is no depth to which the US war machine will not stoop in deceiving the public about the need to unload the military-industrial complex’s expensive inventory onto some third world country overseas, no limit to the evils that America’s unelected power establishment will commit in order to secure geopolitical dominance, and no end to the mass media propaganda machine’s willingness to report war propaganda as objective fact.

It is quite literally impossible to be too paranoid about these people. If you had an acquaintance who was a known compulsive liar with an extensive history of duping people into fighting one another for his own sociopathic amusement, how would you react if he handed you a gun and told you that your neighbor is getting ready to attack you?

There is one government in the mix here that has proven itself completely sociopathic and untrustworthy in such matters, and it ain’t the DPRK.

Stay skeptical, stay watchful, and stay woke.

"Oh no," people squeal! "THIS time they're telling the truth!"

Good luck with that.

Blood's on your hands, not ours.”

She heads the article with a reference to Joel (2:31): 'The sun will be turned to darkness... before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord' and goes on to say that when she was teaching that book a few years ago 'the ancient words of his prophecy came up off the page. I knew with hair-raising certainty that God's severe judgment was coming on America! I have taught Joel several times since. Each time has served to confirm with deep conviction that God is warning America of impending disaster and destruction.'

Then there is the famously conservative Cardinal, Raymond Burke, who every few months appears to make the headlines with a controversial statement. Burke was quoted by Lifesitenews.com as telling the Church Teaches Forum in Louisville: 'We are living in the most troubled times in the world and also in the Church' and that those times 'realistically seem to be apocalyptic'.

'Confusion, division, and error' within the Catholic Church coming from 'shepherds' even at the highest levels indicate that we 'may be' in the end times, he was quoted as saying. 'For whatever reason, many shepherds are silent about the situation in which the Church finds herself or have abandoned the clarity of the Church's teaching for the confusion and error which is wrongly thought to address more effectively the total collapse of Christian culture,' he said.

If you think that others will become afraid that the bank will run out of cash, it might be rational to empty your own savings account first. And so, for many, scenes of long queues outside branches of UK bank Northern Rock in September 2007 is still their earliest memory of the credit crunch and the global financial crisis.

The rest is, of course, history: the collapse of the bank Lehman Brothers in September 2008 and the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression (not to mention the LIBOR scandal). Even today, central bankers, regulators and other policy makers talk about measures that ought to be taken to avoid another “Lehman moment”.

What they refer to is a situation in which the entire global financial system is on the brink of total collapse. August 9, 2007 will not go down in history as the day the world ended. Rather, to cite the former Northern Rock boss Adam Applegarth it will be remembered as the “day the world changed”.

China Scrambles to Feed Their Own. Economic growth has stoked appetites in China and has stirred a taste for Western cuisine. As a result China has gone on public health campaigns warning the public to cut back on meat in order to keep up with demands for dwindling supplies.

China tries to grasp arable land in other countries like the US, Russia, South America, Africa and more to feed their population. As little as 20% of their arable land is usable due to startling amounts of pollution. So how can they be producing organic for the rest of the world?

How does severe pollution fit into the organic picture. Answer, it doesn’t. The US has strict standards for organic, but China doesn’t have them, and we have weak inspections on imports. So how can that food be considered organic?

Many people think of heart disease as an inevitable part of aging, but it is something we can easily win the war against, Dr Fuhrman stated. “Nobody has to have a heart attack or stroke,” he said. “People don’t have to get dementia. These are diseases related to nutritional ignorance.” People in the United States have among the highest risk of heart attack in the world. There are pockets around the world, such as in Papua New Guinea, where they have almost no heart disease. The difference is diet.

Fifty-five percent of the American diet consists of processed foods, Dr Fuhrman noted. The amounts of plant materials in our diet are inadequate. These foods contain phytochemicals and antioxidants, which are necessary for the human immune system to function properly, and to prevent inflammation and atherosclerosis. Processed foods, such as pasta, breads, salad oils, donuts and crackers contain no phytochemicals or antioxidants. They’re just calories with no nutrients, Fuhrman noted.

“The amount of color vegetation we’re eating is about 5 percent of total calories in the American diet,” Dr Fuhrman said. “That’s the perfect formula to create an epidemic of cancer and heart disease. Heart disease is totally unnatural. Not only is it not the inevitable consequence of aging: you can get better and reverse it as you’re getting older if you follow the correct diet.”

Dr Fuhrman has had experiences with patients diagnosed with severe heart disease who followed his dietary guidelines and saw a complete reversion. These people are living into their 80s and 90s without blood pressure medication, cholesterol drugs, angioplasty or bypass surgery.

“It’s amazing how fast it goes away, how fast the blood pressure drops, and how fast the chest pains go away,” he said. “Day in and day out, the American diet stresses our body, ages us prematurely and damages our blood vessels and our heart. The minute you stop doing that, the damage stops.” “Nobody has to have a heart attack or stroke,” says Dr Fuhrman. “People don’t have to get dementia. These are diseases related to nutritional ignorance.”

While it is a growing specialty in the medical profession, the truth is conventional medical education developed out of funding from drug companies. “The medical profession, historically, has been a distribution arm for the pharmaceutical industry,” Dr Fuhrman said. “It’s barbaric, to a degree, because people really think their answer to health problems is to go to doctors and get prescribed medications.”

Think about it: How can all these preventable diseases and disorders be hereditary all of a sudden if they didn’t exist a century ago? Did your parents’ genes and grandparents’ genes suddenly change and become mutated and dysfunctional in a couple of generations?

#1. Alzheimer’s – Alzheimer’s disease is not caused by genes we receive from our parents, and therefore it is rarely, if ever, inherited.

#2. Cancer – Besides the sexually transmitted kind called HPV (human papillomavirus), cancer is not contagious nor is it inherited. Cancer is a mutation of cells caused mainly by the consumption of chemicals, whether by food, water, medicine, topically or through the environment.

#3. Heart disease – It may be true that there are some genes we inherit that make us more susceptible to heart disease, but for the most part, the current “epidemic” of heart disease is preventable and curable – but don’t take “low-fat” advice from the American Heart Association!

#4. High cholesterol – The biggest lies are most likely to be believed, so don’t go thinking you must have chemical medications to lower your cholesterol. Without cholesterol, we all die! Every cell in our body needs cholesterol to function.

#5. Osteoporosis – Fluoride (yes, the kind in tap water) weakens bones and causes osteoporosis, brittle bones and increased fracture rates. Sodium fluoride also doubles as a powerful insecticide.

#6. Autism – In 2004, the CDC ran research and found out that the MMR vaccine given to African American boys under age 3 led to a massive spike in autism cases. That research was buried until their lead scientist, Dr William Thompson, confessed 10 years later. Autism begins after birth and has never been proven to be hereditary.

Bottom line? We’re not all born weak and “infected” with diseases, disorders and bad genes. Don’t let your MD con you into taking chemical medications and toxin-loaded immunizations your whole life. It’s all a chronic sick care ponzi scheme that literally creates autoimmune disorders!

Alabama Congressman Mike Rogers has introduced a new bill (HR 193) to end US membership in the United Nations. The bill is the reintroduction of his American Sovereignty Restoration Act (HR 1205) from the last Congress. And of course, that was basically the same bill introduced year after year by former Congressman Ron Paul.

In the past, both Paul’s and Roger’s bills have been ignored by Congress, but things are changing. Americans are beginning to understand the UN threat. Obama has actually stood before the UN General Assembly and called for Americans to surrender our national sovereignty to this world body.

As Obama worked feverishly to build UN intrusion into our lives through actions like Agenda 21 and by joining the UN’s Strong Cities Network to militarize our police, the rest of the world has started to revolt against UN global policies that are destroying their national independence and economies.

The Brexit vote in England was the shockwave heard around the world. The European Union is the first such organization of the UN’s goal to create such unions in every region of the world, including North and South American Unions; an Asian Union and so forth. The EU was to be the wave of the future. England struggled under its shackles until it could no longer stand it and so revolted. As the vote came in suddenly other members of the EU started thinking – if England can escape, why not them? Suddenly the global New World Order juggernaut has begun to show cracks.

In the episode titled “The Emergency Plan,” the two doll moms, voiced by Wanda Sykes and Portia de Rossi, are faced with an “earthquake” that causes the doll family to be separated. Doc McStuffins then assists them with making an emergency plan.

The episode aired on the Disney Channel on August 5 and on Disney Junior on August 6. “My kids watch – they watch the show,” Sykes says in an interview in the show’s promotional video. “In this episode, they see a family that looks like our family. We’re two moms and we have a boy and a girl, two kids, and it’s going to be very exciting for them to see our family represented. We’re a family, and families stick together.”

Zeke Stokes, vice president of programs at gay rights media advocacy organization GLAAD, praised Disney for “breaking new ground” and “teaching valuable family lessons.”

It was published after a picture was taken of the little prince, with an innocent, delighted, expression on his face, as he stood in a helicopter one day shy of his fourth birthday. “The image of the prince expressing his happiness in this way led many [on Twitter] to declare their support of George for a whole new position: gay icon,” the article continued.

He wrote to PinkNews demanding it withdraws the article and apologises, reports the BBC. “Sexualising a young child in this fashion is entirely inappropriate,” the Brexit-supporting Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for North Antrim wrote to the website’s editor.

“In reality, the photo which prompted the piece shows a four-year-old boy who is smartly dressed and excited about being on a helicopter with his male father and female mother. To take an image of a little boy and to fantasise of him being an icon for a life defined by sex is outrageous and sick.”

PinkNews, which describes itself as  “premier LGBT news outlet in the UK and beyond”, published the article on July 25th. “There are of course those who say that any discussion of the prince’s sexuality is premature, but this isn’t about his sexuality,” the article elaborates. “Kids are born with a sexuality, and should be encouraged to find it without it being assumed that they’re straight,” it adds.

"The DPRK must choose to stop isolating itself and stand down its pursuit of nuclear weapons," Mattis said in a statement. DPRK is short for the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. "The DPRK should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people," Mattis said.

"The DPRK regime's actions will continue to be grossly overmatched by ours and would lose any arms race or conflict it initiates," he added. Mattis added that while the State Department was making diplomatic efforts, the United States and its allies have the most "precise, rehearsed and robust defensive and offensive capabilities on Earth."

Despite the statement by Mattis, US officials say that for now, additional assets have not been moved to the region and the threat assessment has not changed. The United States has 28,500 troops in South Korea to guard against the North Korean threat. Japan hosts around 54,000 US military personnel, the U.S. Department of Defense says, and tens of thousands of Americans work in both countries.

In response to Williams' unexpected and very revealing comment, Mitchell appeared to shake her head, though it's unclear if she was approving or disapproving of what he actually said - there was no push back by the panelists or attempt to seek clarification on Williams' words.

Though the world is currently witnessing a dangerous and escalating war of words between President Trump and the so-called hermit kingdom, mainstream media reporting has long been driven by simplistic fear mongering concerning the geopolitical dynamics driving tensions in the region. The American public is generally woefully uneducated regarding to history of US-North Korean tensions and war.

According to the 20th century theologian and political commentator Reinhold Niebuhr, fear is a prime means which leading public institutions and elites utilize to keep the masses loyal. Fear and sensationalized coverage is also good for ratings and advertising revenue. Niebuhr says society's "myth-makers" - an apt description of today's major corporate media - constantly give us mere illusions divorced from truth.
