The recent deaths of four American soldiers in Niger was tragic, but the real tragedy has been the cover up of what happened. The facts and details seem to change daily and the timeline explanations are as squirrely as the Vegas shooting investigation.
The military is trying to make us believe that this is nothing more than a typical foreign internal defense mission that went bad. The blame went on a newly created threat, the Islamic Threat in the Sahel, which the DoD abbreviated as ISIS. Of course it has no connection in reality to the ISIS in the Middle East, but they are hoping we fall for it.
It looks like this was a continuation of a failed policy that started as Human Terrain Operations. When it failed miserably, it was reborn as Cultural Knowledge Consortium. When it failed, it was reborn as the Global Cultural Knowledge Network.

The Niger disaster has a long history. And sadly this isn’t new.
What I find sad is that this isn’t a new plan or concept. We’ve been doing this for years, yet none of us have heard anything about it. What’s funny is that in our continued failures in the Middle East, if any of this stuff really worked, you know the military would be touting its success on the front pages of every media outlet around. …
Well, the crazies are planning a protest. This is one of the reported stories out there right now. There are more “fake news” memes out there trying to convince the masses of us that this is a nationwide “protest” and that they have lots of support.
Well, let’s turn this information into knowledge.
The organizers themselves have announced that these protests are planned for 14 cities: Atlanta GA, Austin TX, Boston MA, Chicago IL, Cleveland OH, Honolulu HI, Los Angeles CA, New York City NY, Omaha NE, Philadelphia PA, Pittsfield MA, Portland OR, Seattle WA, and San Francisco CA.
Take a look at how these places voted.
Imagine my surprise to discover that 17 out of the 18 counties involved are 487 counties! The only outlier is Omaha, Nebraska. Nebraska went 60.3% for Trump. Omaha went almost 48% for Hillary which was the highest percentage in Nebraska. What’s amazing is that San Francisco only came in third in highest percentage of Hillary nuts. Two of the counties that make up New York City came in first and second with 88.7% and 87.2%. That’s virtually everyone! And we wonder why New York is so screwed up.…
Congress has a history of acting as our “betters”. Laws for you but not for us. Obamacare is just one of many examples. If Congress got the same care as offered by Obamacare or the VA, the law would be changed today.
Well, it appears that sexual misconduct is another area where the rules don’t apply to them. Who knew that they actually passed a law ironically called the “Congressional Accountability Act” that essentially makes it almost impossible for an aggrieved victim to pursue justice against a congress person.
Even better, when an individual actually won’t give in and goes through the unwieldy process and wins their complaint, the individual congress person isn’t the one who is punished.
You and I do! There is actually a congress-created budget to pay these fines and settlements! It’s spent over $15 million of our tax dollars over the years since the law was passed.…
I love it when the social justice types turn on themselves.
People should remember Wade Rathke. He is the founder of Acorn, the liberal group that was taken down in the Obama years when it was revealed how they lied and cheated and got others to do the same. Of course they never went away, changing names in the US, but not changing tactics.
Soros has coughed up over $3 Billion to Wade Rathke for Acorn, and a bunch of other evil groups.
So, now Alphabet (the company that owns Google) has won a contract to build a “perfect” city on 800 acres of land in Ontario. Here are just some of the wonderful things this perfect city plans on:
a thermal energy grid that would be carbon neutral, sensors that separate waste from recycling, modular buildings that convert from retail to housing, monitors that track noise and pollution, self-driving transit shuttles, shared-ride taxibots, adaptive traffic lights, delivery robots.
And the Soros activist doesn't like it. Got to love it.…
Google is taking its battle against misleading information to the real world. The company has partnered with the International Fact-Checking Network, a nonpartisan organization run by The Poynter Institute that advocates across the globe for accuracy in online articles. The IFCN holds an annual fact-checking conference, funds fellowships and provides training for would-be fake-news detectives, plus it's the author behind a widely accepted code of principles for media organizations.
Earlier, Google partnered with the since discredited Snopes and Polititicact for this service.
Who owns this new group that is working “in our best interest”?
These include Google (driving the Transhumanist agenda), Bill Gates (who has cropped up in the last 3 years to support vaccines, GMOs, Common Core and other NWO initiatives), George Soros (master manipulator behind the Ukraine coup of 2014, Black Lives Matter and other movements to disrupt the law and socially engineer society) and Pierre Omidyar (current owner of PayPal connected to the Military Intelligence complex via Booz Allen Hamilton).
With all of that said, anyone who “believes” what they read on Google or Facebook without verification is pretty dumb.…
Lots of exciting news regarding the so-called Trump dossier. Most of the headlines and the stories are talking about the Hillary campaign buying the report and/or the Fusion Groups role in the dossier.
I don’t have a problem with the Clinton Campaign buying what they thought was opposition research. Yeah, they look stupid for buying such a brazenly false report, but politics at the presidential level is a blood sport. The more dirt you can dig up on your opponent helps to make people not vote for them.
What I want to know is who funded creating the dossier. That is the huge red herring out there. I’m inclined to believe that it was deep state “never Trump” folks. Remember who turned the dossier over to the FBI – John McCain.

It’s a sad commentary on the United States right now that we seem to not be able to make military equipment. The F35 debacle speaks for itself. The Navy has so many problems with the Littoral ships and the latest aircraft carrier that you can write books about it.
Well, in an equal opportunity moment, it appears that the Army isn’t immune either.
At the “battle” of Kirkuk, Kurds armed what seems to be 1970s technology Chinese anti-tank missiles destroyed a US Army M1A1 tank owned and operated by the Iraqi army.
This isn’t a rare occurrence. ISIS destroyed Iraqi M1A1 tanks in the beginning of the war near Mosul. They even captured some and operate them. Hezbollah has at least one M1A1 tank. It’s not mobile, but the guns still work and they tow it into battle! Houthi rebels in Yemen are destroying Saudi Arabian M1 tanks with anti-tank missiles.
The US is currently spending $20 million per tank for 1000 M1 tanks to upgrade the turrets with all sorts of high tech.
Meanwhile the Russians are fielding their T90 and Armata tanks which are clearly marked improvements on older tank technology and perhaps are the best in the world. A complete, latest version of the T90 costs $4.5 million.

RT America is the American arm of the state owned Russia Today news outlet. It operates just like the BBC (a state run news outlet), Germany’s Deutsche Welle (stated goal to convey Germany as a liberal state, as part of the government’s foreign affairs function), and many others.
A strong argument can be made that as important as it is for countries to share what they think is important about them, it’s even more important for America to learn what foreign countries to think is important. Heck America must have thought it was important seeing as the CIA has been funding and operating 20 monitoring stations around the world to monitor, translate and disseminate openly available news and information from media sources outside the United States. It used to be called the Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS) and now it’s called the Open Source Center.
Now our government has decided that this information is only for them and not for us. Our government has decided that RT needs to register as a foreign agent that is disseminating propaganda in the United States/ I’m sure this will end well. The repercussions from Russia will surely include similar sanctions against American news outlets like Fox, CNN, ABC, etc.
Does anyone really think this is good for Americans? It certainly is good for the Neos and the deep state. Knowledge is good. Restricting knowledge is never a good thing.

Catalonia used to be its own country but lost wars to Spain and became part of Spain in 1716. It’s the economic powerhouse of Spain and has had many revolutionary uprisings over the past two centuries. They use their own language. In the 1930s Spain allowed them autonomy. During Francisco Franco’s rule, the autonomy was revoked and they were even forbidden from using their own language. After Franco’s death in 1975 Catalonia adopted a new statute of autonomy. Spain contested this. In 2014 92% of the people of Catalonia passed a referendum for independence. The referendum included a plan for secession by 2017. Spanish courts declared the vote and plan illegal. A recent vote on 1 Oct was an independence referendum. The vote was met with much violence by the Spanish government to include shooting people who tried to vote and physical beatings of women on the street who tried to vote. I’m sure the deep state governments around the world watched closely to see how much violence they could get away with in civilized society.…
