In recent months Donald Trump has shown no hesitation to comment critically on political developments in Iran, Pakistan, Venezuela, and North Korea. He supported protests in Iran against "the brutal and corrupt Iranian regime." He deplored the many years of US military aid to Pakistan, for which "they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. . . . No more!" His criticisms of the Maduro government in Venezuela were accompanied by the threat to use the "military option," reminiscent of what Trump had once said when talking about Mexico.

Confirming that the US military presence inside Syria had little to do with fighting ISIS, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson unveiled in detail today the real US strategy for Syria: overthrow of the Assad government.
In a speech at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and introduced by President George W. Bush’s Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Secretary Tillerson vowed that the United States military would continue to occupy Syrian territory until three conditions are met:

"Confucius Institute." It's a benign sounding name which immediately conjures up visions of enlightenment and ancient Eastern wisdom. Indeed, that appears to be precisely the intent. Effective propaganda always drapes itself in cuddly messaging in order to distract from the nefarious agenda underneath. This is exactly what's going on with Chinese government funded Confucius Institutes, which have sprung up at 500 universities worldwide, including 100 in the U.S.

The Trump administration will release its long-awaited infrastructure plan in coming weeks. The plan is expected to include $200 billion over 10 years of federal funding. Where will the money come from? The president has pondered raising the federal gas tax.

Functioning as a perfect introduction to Orthodoxy, in this talk we will cover St. Athanasius’ famous work, On the Incarnation, which lays out the basics of Orthodoxy. From theosis to balanced Triadology, the Incarnation and Resurrection are the pillar doctrines of our faith and function as a golden chain based around the correct doctrine of the Trinity and Christology.

The problem will not get better — it will only get worse — as long as we continue to call this an “opioid crisis.” The current title is too nonspecific. This is a crisis caused by drug prohibition — an unintended consequence of nonmedical drug users accessing the black market in drugs.

Nullification occurs when a jury votes not guilty because a law is either unjust or wrongly applied, not because a defendant is actually innocent. And I know that’s what I would do if I was on a jury and the government was persecuting someone for engaging is self-defense or getting nabbed by a revenue camera.

Press TV – January 18, 2018 Syria has strongly condemned a US plan to maintain its military presence in the Arab country as interference in its internal affairs and a blatant violation of international law. “The internal affairs in any country in the world is an exclusive right of the people of this country, thus […]

Stephen Cohen Explains Putin Objectively
Stephen F. Cohen is our most knowledgeable Russian expert. Unlike talking media heads such as Megyn Kelly, Cohen understands the subject matter. Addressing an audience composed of subscribers to The Nation magazine, Cohen rebukes the orchestrated demonizations of Putin and Russia and provides an objective account. Cohen would be the best possible US Ambassador to Russia, but because he is objective, he is unwelcome in Washington’s corridors of power.

As many as 100 college campuses are providing places where students can report other students for 'bias incidents' in which they say something "offensive" on social media. [The known effect of this activity is the isolation of individuals, the creation of mistrust, the inability to form into groups capable of challenging authority, and the creation of a volunteer secret police. It's pure collectivism.] [...]

The Syrian so called "civil war" has been going on now for almost 6 years, and as of now the good guys aka the SAA and their Russian/Arabic allies, are steadily gaining ground on what is left of the so called "rebels" including the US created and run fraud called "ISIS".... As I showed in my last report on Syria at this blog, the SAA is busy working on shrinking the Idlib Province "pocket" and has been planning to remove the last pockets of "rebel resistance" in and around the capital city of Damascus...

Here it goes again! Several countries of Oceania (also known as South Pacific Nations), or however you want to call that vast, beautiful but thoroughly devastated part of the world, have voted “for Israel”, “for the United States’ proposed resolution at the United Nations”, and therefore, “against Palestine”.
As reported on December 22, 2017 by Al Jazeera:

The tradition of a close-knit family has been shattered by the collectivist mindset that now dominates the British culture. Nine-million people, 14% of the population, are without regular contact with close friends or family, which makes them lonely, indeed. A study of this problem concludes it has been brought about by welfare, anti-family feminism, and public housing. The government is launching a massive program to solve this problem. [How? By more of the same that caused it, of course.] [...]

By Cindy Sheehan & Rick Sterling | American Herald Tribune | January 18, 2018 There is one thing missing from the upcoming Women’s March publicity and philosophy: the urgent need for Peace Not War!

Canadian professor of psychology, Dr. Jordan Peterson, while being interviewed about his defense of free speech, is asked by a TV host: “Why should your right to freedom of speech trump a trans person’s right not to be offended?” He responded: “Because in order to be able to think, you have to risk being offensive. Look at the conversation we’re having right now. You’re certainly willing to risk offending me in the pursuit of truth. Why should you have the right to do that?” The TV host was left with no response.

Devin Nunes, R-Calif., chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, repeated his public observations that members of the intelligence community — particularly the CIA, the NSA and the intelligence division of the FBI — are not trustworthy with the […]

Charles Bausman, the editor of Russia Insider, has published an extraordinary article in which he says that he wishes to “break the Jewish taboo”, and in which he appears to single out Jewish people in the West for their supposed particular hostility to Russia.
The article appears to put the blame for the present disastrous state of Western-Russian relations on Jewish people in ways which I find both extremely disturbing and frankly concerning.

RT | January 18, 2018 US policy is a distraction from the ongoing Korean talks, which Seoul hopes will eventually lead to the denuclearization of the entire peninsula, security analyst Charles Shoebridge told RT. The third session of inter-Korean talks in a week signalled a significant breakthrough in the frosty ties between the two Koreas. […]

In Dr. Doan’s case, the prison cell did not prevent him from fighting for what he believes. In fact, prison only made him stronger. It made him resolve to commit his entire life to human rights and liberty—and not just for himself but for others, for the Vietnamese people, and for the oppressed anywhere.
Even in prison during those two decades, Dr. Doan taught fellow inmates to understand liberty, love, compassion, and responsibility. In spite of what he’s been through, he did not and does not express hate of any kind.

In an ideal world, the central government would allow towns to formally secede, and those towns could then contract to have private management. But that’ll never happen since politicians wouldn’t want real-world examples showing the superiority of markets over government.

The Syrian authorities have warned Turkey against any hostile actions in Afrin, saying that Damascus will consider them as an act of aggression and the undermining of the country’s sovereignty.

While Moscow is working hard to reach a peaceful settlement of the Syrian crisis and applying great efforts to convene a “Syrian People’s Congress” in Sochi, Washington is doing its best to undermine the peace talks being held in Astana and Geneva, as well as the prospects for the upcoming Sochi conference.

Is the Trump administration prepping the American people – indeed, the world – for a war against North Korea? It certainly seems so. US President Donald Trump is constantly needling North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, comparing the size of their respective “nuclear buttons,” while during a speech to the United Nations in September he promised to “totally destroy North Korea” if it was believed to be a threat to the United States.
