Now, it appears that Putin’s dislike of the financial speculator has hit an even more intense peak as he has declared Soros a ‘threat to Russian national security’ and called for his arrest. It is likely that the intensifying of Russian anger against Soros has a great deal to do with the allegations that his organisation has been conducting covert operations designed to destabilise the country. Leaked files have emerged from his Open Society Foundation speaking explicitly of this aim.

The Open Society Foundation claimed that Putin was a greater threat to the European Union than Islamic State and claimed that the Russia air strikes in Syria, which have badly affected the civilian population, were designed to force the Syrian people to flee en masse and flood Europe with desperate refugees. If the Open Society Foundation have evidence for making these sensational claims against the Russian state they have chosen not to share it. Russia is not the only party that has shown dissatisfaction with Soros in recent years.

The controversial Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has also suggested that Soros and his organisation have been attempting to impact political circumstances across the world for their own financial benefit. The statements by these two leaders mirror the views of writers and journalists who have been warning about Soros’s behaviour over the decades. As Phil Butler once said; “George Soros has a finger in every political pie there is. If there is a crisis on our world, it’s a safe bet he’s had a hand in it.”

Of course this would have to happen before the inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20th, because Trump has already made it quite clear that he will not support any UN resolution of such nature. Knowing that Trump is about to take office, advocates of the “two state solution” are putting an immense amount of pressure on Obama to support a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel while he is still in the White House, and at this moment we do not know what Barack Obama’s final decision will be.

Most Americans have no idea that this drama is playing out behind the scenes, but those in the know are very much aware of what is happening. The Wall Street Journal recently published an article entitled “Obama’s Israel Surprise?” that discussed the possibility of Obama supporting a UN Security Council resolution that would permanently divide the land of Israel, and the New York Times editorial board has formally endorsed such a resolution.

The rest of the UN Security Council is ready to agree to such a resolution, and at this point the only obstacle is getting Barack Obama’s approval. That is why it was so exceedingly alarming to wake up on Sunday morning and read former UN Ambassador John Bolton’s very chilling warning about what could soon happen at the UN.

If we can get to January 20th and Donald Trump is peacefully inaugurated and the land of Israel has not been divided, perhaps we can all breathe a little bit easier for a while. But if the land of Israel is divided between now and then, the consequences for this nation are going to be more severe than most people would dare to imagine.

Considering the fact that Obama is leaving, there were fears that he was going to pass some legislation that would affect the country and be nearly impossible for Trump to repeal. These were going to be called the “Midnight Rules” and it was going to ensure that Trump was going to have some issues before tackling the issues he wanted to tackle the most.

Except that fear is NO MORE. The House of Representatives passed legislation, by a margin of 240-179, allows Congress to undo any of the last-minute rules and regulations that were going to be put on the books before President Obama leaves office.

The bill’s sponsor, Representative Darrell Issa, a Republican out of California and the former chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, had this to say about the bill. “This bipartisan bill is about reviving the separation of powers to ensure our laws are written by the representatives we actually vote for – not unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats who are on their way out the door.”

RT: I’d like to hear your opinion on the current state of social institutions that the Church has traditionally upheld, such as marriage and family. Today, many of the historically Christian countries in the West are legalizing same-sex marriage. Some of them have even appointed special envoys for LGBT rights. Many in the West see it as progress and liken it to the situation with interracial marriages in the US, which used to be frowned upon and now are a part of life. So, many believe this is a step forward. What do you think of this trend?

PK: I’m deeply wary of it. What’s happening in the Western countries is that, for the first time in human history, legislation is at odds with the moral nature of human beings. What’s good and evil? Sin and righteousness? These could be defined in both religious terms and non-religious terms. If you take a good character from English, American, or Russian fiction, you will see that all of them possess the same qualities. Why? We have different cultures and different political systems, but for all of us good is good, and evil is evil, and everyone understands who the good guys are, and who the bad guys are. So how do we distinguish?

With our heart, with our moral nature. This moral nature, created by God, served as a foundation for the legislation which is designed. Laws defined moral values in legal terms, telling us what’s good and what’s bad. We know that stealing is bad and helping people is good, and laws define what stealing is and what the suitable punishment for it is.

Now, for the first time in human history, the law allows something that doesn’t correspond to our moral nature. The law contradicts it. It’s not the same thing, of course, but we could compare this to an extent to the apartheid in Africa or Nazi laws – when the law went against inherent moral values, people rebelled. They knew it wasn’t right; it was artificial; it was part of some ideology and not in sync with their moral nature. So the Church can never approve of this.

We say that the Church can never redefine good and evil, sin and righteousness, but we don’t condemn people who have different sexual preferences. It’s on their conscience and it’s their business, but they shouldn’t be discriminated against or punished, as used to be common practice in some states. However, under no circumstances should this be accepted as a social norm no different from the social norm that stems from our moral nature, meaning marriage between a man and wife who create a family and have children.

That’s why we believe this new trend poses a significant threat for the existence of the human race. The Church has to address this and say it’s a bad thing, but we’ve seen that authorities in some countries have been trying to silence clergymen. One Protestant pastor went to jail for calling same-sex marriage a sin in his sermon.

Again, this is very reminiscent of what was happening under Soviet totalitarianism. In the countries that declare their commitment to freedom of speech, you can get punished for expressing your opinion. That’s a dangerous trend, and I hope it will peter out and the natural order of things will prevail. I don’t even want to think about what might happen to us otherwise. Our prayers and our work are so that humanity lives on and follows the principles dictated by our moral nature.

Amar’s comments created a fierce political backlash from members of Knesset and the Jerusalem City Council who helped get the rabbi, who was Sephardic chief rabbi of Israel from 2003 to 2013, elected to his current post. Amar made his comments in an interview with Yisrael Hayom to be published this weekend. In the interview, Amar said that he related to Reform Jews through the prism of the biblical injunction to “turn away from the tents of evil people.”

Asked about his attitude toward the LGBT community, the rabbi said, “This is a cult of abomination, this is clear. This is an abomination. The Torah requires a death sentence for this. This is in the first row of the most severe transgressions.” Amar also rejected the notion that someone may have a homosexual inclination, calling it “nonsense” and arguing instead that “there are desires and a person can overcome it if he wants, like all other desires.”

Following publication of a preview of the interview on Thursday morning, at least one person, Shirley Charlie Kleinman, went to a police station in Tel Aviv to file a complaint against Amar for incitement to murder against homosexuals and posted on Facebook the information sheet she received from the police following submission of the complaint.

“Get involved, be active, complain,” Kleinman wrote on her Facebook page. “Exercise your civil rights and complain, and be supportive even if you are not from the gay community. Let’s try and ensure that this man will not remain in his key public position. This is not an anti-religious issue, I have nothing against religion, every person shall live in accordance with their faith. I do have an interest to protect my rights and your rights to live, and [to live with] dignity.”

Since the start of November the single currency has tumbled by around five per cent against the dollar, to sit at around 1.0584. The two currencies are set to reach parity and the euro could even dip below one. Mr Draghi's comments were seen as a hint that the ECB is set to extend its trillion euro money-printing programme in another desperate bid to shore up the economy.

But the US central bank - the Federal Reserve - is moving in the opposite direction and is expected to raise interest rates next month. As a result, the dollar has experienced a huge rally. Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst at Forex.com, said: "The EUR/USD is still limping, now below 1.06. It could absolutely collapse next week as the dollar appreciates further."

Critics note, however, that the fact checking from these organizations has been been just as highly biased against Donald Trump and in Hillary’s favor as the corporate media coverage. The announcement of the Trump University Settlement is just the latest example. Several liberal news outlets and journalists are claiming the settlement means that Donald Trump is admitting to having committed wide spread fraud.

As a professional that works with class action lawsuits daily most settlement agreements are done because the cost of the defended litigating them would be more than just settling and they typically come with provision the defended is not required to admit any wrong doing. In fact, the Trump University settlement has the same provision namely Donald Trump is not admitting to any wrong doing by settling the case. So why are liberal media outlets spreading fake news? Why are there editorial staffs doing nothing to prevent the spread of this fake news?

We all know that corporate media outlets are biased. Instead, since Twitter, Google and Facebook are so intent on cracking down on this fake news, I will take up Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s suggestion and rely on a “legitimate fact checking organization” to find out the truth about these claims. Looking at Snopes, in typical fashion when the left is lying about something they don’t fact check it. Instead, they write an article about it and don’t fact check the lies being told by the left. The articles they write also tend to include accusations made by the leftist media and exclude exonerating points.

For example, the biggest lie being propagated by the corporate media is, as echoed by NBC Legal Analyst Lisa Bloom, the settlement is an admission of widespread fraud by Donald Trump. So Snopes… Why no fact check here?

His comments, part of a speech to the Catholic institute of Paris, also took aim at Christian and Hindu spiritual leaders, calling on them to do more to stop violence perpetrated in the name of faith. He said: “In order to understand, religious people in Europe must regain the ability to share our religious vocabulary with the rest of the continent. If we treat religiously-motivated violence solely as a security issue, or a political issue, then it will be incredibly difficult – probably impossible – to overcome it.

“A theological voice needs to be part of the response, and we should not be bashful in offering that.” He added: “This requires a move away from the argument that has become increasingly popular, which is to say that Isis is ‘nothing to do with Islam’, or that Christian militia in the Central African Republic are nothing to do with Christianity, or Hindu nationalist persecution of Christians in South India is nothing to do with Hinduism.”

“Until religious leaders stand up and take responsibility for the actions of those who do things in the name of their religion, we will see no resolution.”

As you will see, the next two months are an absolutely critical time, and if we can get through January 20th without something major happening perhaps we can breathe a little bit easier (at least for a while).  On the other hand, the events of the next two months could easily plunge this country into a period of unprecedented chaos.  A lot of people are feeling really good about things right now because of Trump’s victory, but now is definitely not a time to relax and let down our guard.

And the truth is that Donald Trump has not even won the presidency yet.  As I detailed shortly before election night, the next president will not be determined until December 19th when the Electoral College meets. On Monday, December 19th the members of the Electoral College will gather in all 50 state capitals to cast their votes for president.  It is then, and only then, that the next president of the United States will be elected.

When politicians are going to do something that they know people won’t like, they tend to try to sneak it through around the holidays when a lot of people aren’t paying attention.  For example, yesterday I discussed how the legislation that created the Federal Reserve was rushed through Congress right before Christmas in 1913. So keep an eye on the period around Thanksgiving and the period around Christmas.  If Barack Obama is going to stab Israel in the back, it may happen during one of those times.

With over 90% of all transactions done in cash, money flows in and out of the black-and-white system… until now, as Devangshu Datta exclaims, "The system works because everybody believes that those pieces of paper will be accepted by everybody else… This move has shaken that trust."

Farmers have been left stranded as traders have no cash to pay for their produce, while millions of Indians lined up outside banks and post offices for the ninth day to exchange old banknotes or withdraw rationed money from their accounts.

Many of India's 260 million farmers have no bank accounts and depend on local money lenders to fund sowing, which means those that have to borrow to sow winter crops like wheat or rapeseed could face debt trouble without a good harvest.

A final philosophical point. Our entire monetary system depends on trust. A banknote is a piece of paper that says the RBI will give the bearer another similar piece of paper, or make an entry in an electronic ledger for that amount. The system works because everybody believes that those pieces of paper will be accepted by everybody else and therefore, money serves as an useful medium of exchange. This move has shaken that trust.

And it comes with a scorched-earth kicker: If the law is used to strike down a rule, the federal agency that issued it is barred from enacting similar regulation again in the future.

The obscure law — called the Congressional Review Act — was passed 20 years ago at the behest of Newt Gingrich, then the House speaker and now a member of Mr Trump’s transition team. It gives Congress 60 legislative days to review and override major regulations enacted by federal agencies. In the Senate, the vote would not be subject to filibuster.

The president can veto the rejection, which usually renders the law toothless. But when one party controls both the White House and Congress, it can be a powerful legislative weapon.

For the first time in history, the Internet played a vital role in electing the President of the United States. Alternative websites reported the truth about Donald Trump, while being fair and balanced. At the same time, the truth about Hillary Clinton was also reported. Alternative media could not help what that truth was, as we learned that Hillary Clinton had mainstream media in her pocket. While MSM did not give Trump a fair chance, they provided Hillary Clinton with debate questions beforehand. We know now the Presidential Debates were rigged for Hillary Clinton!

While Hillary lied to the American people MSM protected her. Then in walked WIKILEAKS and Julian Assange. The American people had a direct line to the inner workings of the Clinton Camp, and what we saw were lies upon lies. Criminalities were revealed that chilled us to the bone, and we were certain Donald Trump was the only chance we had if we wanted to save our Country.

Thus, Alternative Media worked diligently to report the facts that MSM chose to hide, because they actually worked for Hillary Clinton behind closed doors. So it is no wonder Obama wants to destroy all those online sites that exposed him, Clinton, and his Administration to the world.

An immensely powerful central bank known as the Federal Reserve was created, and the goal was to transform the US dollar into a debt-based currency that would continuously be inflated and to create an endless debt spiral from which the federal government could never possibly escape.

Sadly, they were successful on both counts. Since the creation of the Federal Reserve, the value of the US dollar has declined by approximately 98 percent and our national debt has gotten more than 5,000 times larger.

Americans tend to give most of the credit or most of the blame for the performance of the US economy to our presidents, but the truth is that an unelected, unaccountable group of central bankers has far more power over our economy than anyone else does. The Federal Reserve has become known as “the fourth branch of government“, but unlike the other branches of government, we are told that the Fed’s decisions are “above politics” because they are “too important”. Fed officials fiercely guard their “independence”, and they fiercely resist any “interference” from Congress, the President, or the American people.

Donald Trump can try to lower taxes and reduce regulations, but what he will be able to do to influence the economy pales in comparison to the immensely powerful tools that the Fed wields. The Fed controls interest rates, the Fed controls the money supply, and the Fed regulates the banks.

Since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, there have been 18 distinct recessions or depressions: 1918, 1920, 1923, 1926, 1929, 1937, 1945, 1949, 1953, 1958, 1960, 1969, 1973, 1980, 1981, 1990, 2001, 2008.

Considering their track record, isn’t it time for a change? It has been said that the borrower is the servant of the lender, and the Federal Reserve system has turned all of us into debt slaves.

And we don’t have to have a debt-based currency. In fact, not too long ago we had a president that decided to start issuing debt-free “United States Notes”. Back in 1963, President John F Kennedy issued Executive Order 11110 which authorized the US Treasury to issue debt-free “United States Notes” which were directly created by the US government. He was assassinated shortly thereafter.

Debt is a form of social control, and the global elite use all of this debt to dominate the planet.  The total amount of debt in the world just hit a brand new record high of 152 trillion dollars, and the longer we allow the central banks to control the system the bigger this debt bubble will become.

There is a way out, and here in the United States that starts with shutting down the Federal Reserve and issuing debt-free currency.  It would take someone very bold to make a move like this, and so let us hope that the man that we just elected is up to the task.
