Amid one of the United States' sharpest confrontations with Israel since the 1956 Suez crisis, Kerry said in a speech that Israel jeopardized hopes of peace in the Middle East by building settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. While Britain voted for the UN resolution that so angered Netanyahu and says that settlements in the occupied territories are illegal, a spokesman for May said that it was clear that the settlements were far from the only problem in the conflict.

In an unusually sharp public rebuke of Obama's top diplomat, May's spokesman said that Israel had coped for too long with the threat of terrorism and that focusing only on the settlements was not the best way to achieve peace between Jew and Arab.

This terribly destructive legislation was written and passed by the progressive Democrats who control California's state government with a two-thirds "supermajority." To their credit, they are sincere in their belief that decriminalizing underage prostitution is good public policy that will help victims of sex trafficking.

Unfortunately, the reality is that the legalization of underage prostitution suffers from the fatal defect endemic to progressive-left policymaking: it ignores experience, common sense and most of all human nature — especially its darker side. The unintended but predictable consequence of how the real villains — pimps and other traffickers in human misery — will respond to this new law isn't difficult to foresee. Pimping and pandering will still be against the law whether it involves running adult women or young girls.

But legalizing child prostitution will only incentivize the increased exploitation of underage girls. Immunity from arrest means law enforcement can't interfere with minors engaging in prostitution — which translates into bigger and better cash flow for the pimps. Simply put, more time on the street and less time in jail means more money for pimps, and more victims for them to exploit.

"Dear Bilderberg members, from now on, each one of you have 1 year (365 days) to truly work in favor of humans and not your private interests,” the hackers, who identified themselves as the "HackBack movement and Anonymous,” said in a message posted at bilderbergmeetings.org. “Otherwise, we will find you and we will hack you,” they threatened the “Wealthy Elitico-Political 1 percent.”

“Mind the current situation: We control your expensive connected cars, we control your connected house security devices, we control your daughter’s laptop, we control your wife's mobile. We tape your secret meetings, we read your emails, we control your favorite escort girl’s smartwatch, we are inside your beloved banks and we are reading your assets. You won’t be safe anywhere near electricity anymore,” the hackers said.

Anti-establishment parties raging against the political class could sweep to victory in a swathe of elections next year and change the face of the West. From Germany, to France, to the Netherlands – fringe and extremist parties are gaining momentum hand over fist and look primed to seize power.

Notable victories have already been won – with a shocking referendum win in Italy causing Prime Minister Matteo Renzi to resign in a move said to pave the way for the collapse of the EU.

There are six key elections coming up in 2017 which could very easily be won by right-wing parties with nationalist policies which would spell the end of the EU. Fredrik Wesslau, from the European Council of Foreign Relations, predicted the “unthinkable is now thinkable” after Trump was swept into the White House. He said the political parties are trying to unseat the “liberal order” in a campaign backed by Putin and Trump. Politicians look to overthrow the established order are hailing Trump’s election victory as the beginning of the “Patriotic Spring”.

FRANCE: Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s National Front, could be poised to take power after the election in May in a move which could pull France out of the EU.

NETHERLANDS: Meanwhile, anti-Islam and anti-migrant leader of the Party of Freedom Geert Wilders ended 2016 leading the polls in the Netherlands – contesting the general election in March.

GERMANY: Frauke Petry is also contesting the German federal election next year as the aftermath of the Berlin attack rocks the government of Angela Merkel.

ITALY: Leader of Italy's Five Star Movement, TV comedian Beppe Grillo, has already caused a stir as the Italian government lost a key referendum.

CZECH REPUBLIC: The Czech Republic is also set to hold elections in 2017 while Sweden goes to the polls in 2018, both with own Trump-esque leaders who could make a shocking grab for power.

SWEDEN: ...in Sweden, anti-immigration Jimmie Akesson of the Sweden Democrats is gaining in popularity – campaigning against his nation's membership of the EU and advocating a campaign to tell migrants not to come to Sweden.

GREECE: With Europe's biggest economies set to go to the polls, struggling Greece could also follow suit. The extreme right fringes of their politics is dominated by the neo-nazi party Golden Dawn – who have launched attacks on refugee camps.

The EU diplomat Wesslau said: "The new axis between Trump’s America, Putin’s Russia, and European populists represents a toxic mix for the liberal order in Europe.” He added: "Within Europe, populists on the left and right are trying to roll back the liberal order. This insurgency is being actively backed by Putin’s Russia, and, now, it seems, Trump’s America. The European Union itself risks being an early casualty."

#1. “The UN appointed Saudi Arabia to chair the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC).” Saudi Arabia, a country that treats women, homosexuals, religious minorities, dissidents, etc horrifically — including state-sanctioned public executions. Their human rights record is disgusting, but don’t worry; the UN went ahead and replaced them with … Egypt, a country that isn’t doing much better in that regard.

#2. “UN peacekeepers sexually abused children in the Central African Republic (CAR).” The sexual abuse of children, rape, and quid pro quo sexual abuse of the impoverished in the CAR was uncovered in May 2014 and led to numerous cases being exposed. The Children Rights International Network has a timeline of the atrocities.

#3. “The UN did little to stop mass genocide and ethnic cleansing in Rwanda, Bosnia, Cambodia, and East Timor.” The UN, a group that has little power to enforce anything, has been in place as a massive amount of blood has been shed around the world in genocides that have needed others to come in and do something while the UN sat powerless.

#4. “The UN failed to hold the Soviet Union accountable.” After the UN’s human rights charter in 1948, the Soviet Union went on to do horrific things, much of it under the brutal dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. As the Cold War raged on for years, the impotent UN said and did next to nothing.

#5. “UN peacekeepers in South Sudan ‘ignored rape and assault of aid workers.’” As aid workers were assaulted in South Sudan, the UN peacekeepers sat by and did nothing, despite being close enough to help the numerous pleas for rescue — something the UN had reportedly done before when local women were raped by soldiers with the UN’s main camp right outside where the assaults occurred.

#6. “The UN turned a blind eye to the latest genocide in Syria.” Obama’s “red line in the sand,” which was quickly blown away along with China and Russia’s seats on the UNSC along with veto power, has essentially given Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad and his Iranian buddies carte blanche in Syria.

#7. “The UN’s anti-Israel obsession has officially become an excuse for anti-Semitism.”The UN has time and time again sided with Israel’s enemies, which has made it clear that the international body, and in many cases those that support their anti-Israel resolutions, operates based on anti-Semitism. Why in the world is the US still a part of this deplorable institution? That is the question that needs to be asked and more importantly, something needs to be done about it.

But these days, as Palestinians see prospects for the so-called two-state solution disintegrating, a growing number are mulling over a provocative alternative: a single binational state from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean.

The notion is the equivalent of a demographic Trojan horse, forcing Israel either to give Arab residents full voting rights — and jeopardize the Jewish identity upon which Israel was created in 1948 — or risk becoming an apartheid state under permanent sanction by the rest of the world.

US Secretary of State John F. Kerry warned of the risk Wednesday in what he described as a “fundamental reality” for the two sides to consider: “If the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or democratic — it cannot be both — and it won’t ever really be at peace.”

Wilf, a native Jerusalemite, pointed to two sections of the resolution that she said were key to legitimizing Israel’s claims to West Jerusalem. For one, the text determines that Israeli settlement in territory captured in 1967, including East Jerusalem, “has no legal validity.” The resolution further calls on all states to “distinguish, in their relevant dealings, between the territory of the State of Israel and the territories occupied since 1967.”

Most Israeli politicians and pundits view those two sentences as the resolution’s most troubling, as they appear to invite boycotts of goods and people from the settlements. But Wilf, who holds a PhD in political science from the University of Cambridge, chose to focus on the other side of the coin.

By drawing a clear distinction between Israel proper and the settlements, and declaring the settlements illegal, the Security Council “is essentially clarifying the absolute legality of the territory of Israel within the 1949 ceasefire lines, including west Jerusalem,” she noted. “This resolution could provide a Trump administration the international legal support for their policy of moving the US Embassy to west Jerusalem.”

One would wonder why wheat is sprayed with glyphosate, even though wheat is not a GMO crop. This was the exact question asked by Dr Stephanie Seneff as she researched the connection between the rise in celiac disease and the use of glyphosate.

Through her research, Dr Seneff found that wheat farmers are using glyphosate on their crop just before wheat harvest for two reasons. First, they are desiccating non-organic wheat crops so they kill off the wheat after harvest so there is less to clear. Second, when you expose wheat to a toxic chemical such as glyphosate, it releases more seed as it dies. As a result, farmers get higher yield.

As a result, glyphosate can be found in one of the most-common ingredients of the modern western diet – wheat. Does this practice of desiccating the wheat crop mean the decimation of the gut? Dr Seneff believes so.
