Many say we are already in the middle of a Marxist Revolution.
The Communist and Marxist filth are funded by Democrat billionaires and protected by the Democrat Party, by the FBI and the Deep State.
Insane Leftists have tried three times to assassinate President Trump. The corrupt FBI and Secret Service (helped by Corporate owned media) have done everything to cover up the facts and censor the Internet.
Americans think in terms of our own Civil War. But in the 20th Century alone dozens of major and minor Civil Wars have taken place all over the world with one group or another angling to seize power.
In the U.S. we see Democrat Party Marxist thugs arresting the Republican MAGA Nationalists and imprisoning them without trial or in sham phony trials.
Like pallets of gasoline, a Marxist Civil War is already here just waiting for someone to strike a Boston Massacre style match.

(WND) - The hundreds of millions of foreign dollars, including from the Saudi royal family, poured into Georgetown University and its prestigious diplomatic training program in the shadow of the State Department has come under scrutiny in the wake of the apparent murder of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside at a Saudi embassy.
In an investigation, the Daily Caller Foundation cited Education Department data showing Georgetown has received $400 million in gifts and contracts from foreign governments and individuals since 2011.
The vast majority were contracts requiring Georgetown to do something in return for the money, rather than gifts, the Daily Caller pointed out.
A politically active Muslim studies program within Georgetown that trains future diplomats and interacts with the Washington political scene was funded by the Saudi royal family.
The Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, or CMCU, at Georgetown is named after the patron who donated $20 million.
The CMCU director is prominent Islam scholar John Esposito, who leads CMCU’s Bridge Initiative, described as a “research project” that highlights “the problem of Islamophobia.”
Its published works, the Daily Caller reported, include “What’s Wrong With The ‘March Against Sharia'” and “Why We Should Ditch The Phrase ‘Moderate Muslims.'”
Jihad Watch Director Robert Spencer has noted Esposito has called Muslim Brotherhood Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who advocates jihad-martyrdom suicide bombings and has praised Hitler’s genocide of the Jews, a champion of a “reformist interpretation of Islam and its relationship to democracy, pluralism and human rights.”
Esposito also has called the Council on American-Islamic Relations — a group designated by the Justice Department as a terrorist co-conspirator and by the United Arab Emirates as a terrorist group — a “phenomenal organization.” Esposito has explained he has spoken at CAIR fundraisers to “show solidarity” with the group.
Former Republican Rep. Frank Wolf of Virginia asked Georgetown in 2008 if it had ever written any reports critical of Saudi Arabia since receiving the funds.
Georgetown did not answer the question, but a bipartisan congressional panel already had found that the government of Saudi Arabia “engages in systematic, ongoing, and egregious violations of the right to freedom of religion or belief.”
The bought and paid for open borders Dems and GOP have no interest in immigration control. Only Trump speaks for America citizens.
(Daily Caller) - Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador (AMLO) called for mass immigration to the United States during a speech Tuesday declaring it a “human right” for all North Americans.
“And soon, very soon — after the victory of our movement — we will defend all the migrants in the American continent and all the migrants in the world,” Obrador said, adding that immigrants “must leave their towns and find a life in the United States.”
He then declared it as “a human right we will defend,” eluniversal.com reports.
While the election is not until July 1, Obrador is by far the frontrunner.
Obrador in April delivered speech criticizing Trump and promising that Mexico will not become a “piñata” for any foreign government, Global News reports.
The former mayor of Mexico City, Obrador holds progressive populist views. The 64-year-old ran unsuccessfully for president twice before, according to DW.
Fox’s Tucker Carlson noted Thursday that Obrador has previously proposed granting amnesty to Mexican drug cartels. “America is now Mexico’s social safety net, and that’s a very good deal for the Mexican ruling class,” Carlson added.
Call me a "crazy blogger" (which I am) but could the American welfare state have something to do illegal aliens traveling thousands of miles north through dangerous Mexico? After all safe nations are just a few miles away to the south.
Nicaragua to El Paso, Texas = 2,523 miles
Nicaragua to Costa Rica = 0 Miles (Next door)
.
Nicaragua to Panama = 379 Miles
Panama City, Panama kk Illegal aliens in so-called "dangerous" countries totally ignore the safety of wealthy, modern Panama right next door to them. Instead they travel thousands of miles through dangerous Mexico to get to Texas.
Bears, tigers and maternity benefits – that was the subject of Vladimir Putin’s short talk with the US First Lady at the G20 summit in Hamburg, he said in a new documentary. And no, he definitely did not try to recruit her.
The two met briefly at a G20 summit dinner last year, and photos of Donald Trump’s wife laughing at Putin’s jokes stirred much speculation in the US media. In an interview published as part of a new documentary, Putin said he entertained Melania Trump and Emanuela Mauro, wife of Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni, who was sitting on his opposite site, with a description of Russia’s maternity benefits during the dinner.
“They were very interested in this. They were surprised how large our maternity benefits are,” Putin claimed.
“Did you try to recruit them?” the interviewer, Vladimir Solovyev, asked – apparently inspired by an earlier part of the interview, in which Putin described his experience as a KGB recruiter in Germany.
“No, I have not been doing this for a very long time,” the president, who used to be an intelligence agent in Soviet times, responded with a laugh. “Although I used to love doing this. That was my job for many years.”
Putin added that he also told the two ladies about Russia’s beautiful nature, Kamchatka bears, and Siberian tigers, as well as the joys of fishing.
“As is expected in such cases, I boasted a bit [about the size of my catch],” he said. “How can one speak about fishing and not boast a little?”
(Fox News) - A brand-new U.S. Navy warship has not moved from Montreal since Christmas Eve and will spend the winter stuck in Canada due to cold and ice.
The USS Little Rock – unveiled in a ceremony on Dec. 16 in Buffalo, New York and attended by nearly 9,000 people – has not moved far since due to adverse weather conditions that kept the warship trapped at bay in Canada, the Toronto Star reported.
The warship known as a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) cost $440 million to build and stretches 387 feet in length and weighs 15 tons more than the Statue of Liberty. It is capable of traveling more than 46 miles per hour.
Such combat ships are described as agile and designed for rapid transitions between missions with minimal manning. They are used for surface warfare, counter piracy and drug operations, as well as other first response missions.
In the wake of weather problems, the ship has been reportedly equipped with heaters and de-icers to reduce ice accumulation on the hull.
The U.S. Navy spokeswoman told The Star the ship will remain inactive in Montreal and will not move towards its home port in Mayport, Fla. until weather conditions improve.
“The temperatures in Montreal and throughout the transit area have been colder than normal, and included near-record low temperatures, which created significant and historical conditions in the late December, early January time frame,” Lt.-Cmdr. Courtney Hillson told the newspaper.
“Keeping the ship in Montreal until waterways are clear ensures the safety of the ship and crew, and will have limited impact on the ship’s operational schedule.”
The navy official did not say whether it is a common practice for ships to be delayed due to bad weather, but said other ships encountered no transit problems in December.
The crew stationed on the ship was provided with cold-weather clothing and will focus on mission training while the delay continues.

Another Military-Industrial Complex Project
Mixed feelings. We had no business in Syria in the first place, but abandoning our Kurdish allies is not right either.
But what business is it of ours to arm and fund an army inside another nation? This sounds like another of those projects of the Military-Industrial Complex to keep our fingers in everyone's business.
(Agence France-Presse) - The US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State group said on Sunday it was working to create a 30,000-strong border security force in northern Syria, drawing sharp condemnation from Turkey. With the offensive against IS winding down, the coalition and its allies in the Syrian Democratic Forces alliance were beginning to shift their focus to border security, coalition spokesman Colonel Ryan Dillon told AFP. "There is a goal of a final force of approximately 30,000," about half of whom would be retrained SDF fighters, he said. "There are approximately 230 individuals that are training right now in the border security force. That's an inaugural class," Dillon said. Backed by the US-led coalition's air strikes, special forces advisers, and weapons, the SDF has ousted IS from swathes of northeastern Syria.

More troops are off to the 3rd world shit-hole of Afghanistan and idiots like VP Mike Pence claim victory is closer than ever.
Call me a "crazy blogger" (which I am) but we have 14,000 troops in Afghanistan. With 252,072 sq. miles Afghanistan is larger than Nazi Germany with 244,706 sq. miles. Might I note it took millions of troops to beat down the Nazis. 14,000 troops? What a public relations joke.
Personally I don't give a fuck who controls Afghanistan. Take those 14,000 troops and put them on the Mexican border.
(Stars and Stripes) - Two combat brigades from Fort Carson will deploy to Afghanistan early next year, the Army announced Thursday, describing the deployments as regular troop rotations. The 4th Infantry Division’s 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team and 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team will leave the Colorado Army post in the spring for nine month tours in the country where U.S. forces have been at war for more than 16 years, according to the Army. Senior U.S. defense officials have said some American troops will operate closer to the front lines in 2018 and assume greater risk as they advise Afghan forces expected to conduct simultaneous offensive operations across the nation designed to drive the Taliban toward peace negotiations. The U.S. military’s primary role in Afghanistan is training, advising and assisting Afghan forces, however American troops also carry out some counterterrorism operations against groups including Islamic State and al-Qaida. The Pentagon publicly acknowledges having about 14,000 troops operating in Afghanistan, an increase of about 3,000 since summer.
Bullshit Alert
Vice President Mike Pence said last week, when he made a surprise visit to the troops in Afghanistan.
“The results are really beginning to become evident around the country,” Pence said after meeting with Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. Wishing the US troops a merry Christmas, he assured them the that Trump’s new “fight-to-win strategy” for Afghanistan was “bearing fruit.”
“I believe victory is closer than ever before,” Pence said.
Call me a crazy Constitutionalist blogger, which I am, but I don't recall Congress voting to bomb inside Pakistan.
To me this is just more of that "eternal war" crap from the Military-Industrial Complex that wants to bomb just about everyone till the end of time.
Frankly who cares which faction of third world tribal primitives controls some remote Pakistani village out in the middle of Who-Gives-A-Fuck-Stan.
(Times of India) - Pakistan Air Force (PAF) chief Sohail Aman said here on Thursday that he has ordered his force to shoot down any drones, including those of the US, if they violate the country's airspace.
The announcement was made public about two weeks after a US drone strike targeted a militant compound in Pakistan's tribal region near the Afghan border, killing three militants.
Pakistan had always condemned drone strikes on its soil but had never said they would shoot down the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). "We will not allow anyone to violate our airspace. I have ordered PAF to shoot down drones, including those of the US, if they enter our airspace, violating the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman told an audience in Islamabad.
If he meant that US missile strikes on militant positions were a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty, then these violations have been occurring since 2004. The CIA was responsible for all US drone strikes in Pakistan until November 30, 2017.
After every drone strike, the Pakistan foreign office issues a condemnatory statement claiming that it will not allow such strikes on its territory.
Hundreds of civilians, according to media reports, including women and children, as well as many senior members of terrorist groups have perished in these attacks. The status of many more people remains unknown.
(Daily Mail) - Saudi princes and billionaire businessmen arrested in a power grab earlier this month are being strung up by their feet and beaten by American private security contractors, a source in the country tells DailyMail.com.
The group of the country's most powerful figures were arrested in a crackdown ordered by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman three weeks ago as he ordered the detention of at least 11 fellow princes and hundreds of businessmen and government officials over claims of corruption.
Just last month, the Crown Prince vowed to restore 'moderate, open Islam' in the kingdom and relaxed a number of its ultra-conservative rules, including lifting a ban on women driving.
DailyMail.com can disclose that the arrests have been followed by 'interrogations' which a source said were being carried out by 'American mercenaries' brought in to work for the 32-year-old crown prince, who is now the kingdom's most powerful figure.
'They are beating them, torturing them, slapping them, insulting them. They want to break them down,' the source told DailyMail.com.
'Blackwater' has been named by DailyMail.com's source as the firm involved, and the claim of its presence in Saudi Arabia has also been made on Arabic social media, and by Lebanon's president.
The firm's successor, Academi, strongly denies even being in Saudi Arabia and says it does not engage in torture, which it is illegal for any U.S. citizen to commit anywhere in the world.
The Saudi crown prince, according to the source, has also confiscated more than $194 billion from the bank accounts and seized assets of those arrested.
The source said that in the febrile atmosphere in the kingdom, Prince Mohammed has bypassed the normal security forces in keeping the princes and other billionaires at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Riyadh.
'All the guards in charge are private security because MBS (Mohammed Bin Salman) doesn't want Saudi officers there who have been saluting those detainees all their lives,' said the source, who asked to remain anonymous.
'Outside the hotels where they are being detained you see the armored vehicles of the Saudi special forces. But inside, it's a private security company.
'They've transferred all the guys from Abu Dhabi. Now they are in charge of everything,' said the source.
Another project of the Military-Industrial Complex
By Dr. Ron Paul;
It’s remarkable that whenever you read an article about Yemen in the mainstream media, the central role of Saudi Arabia and the United States in the tragedy is glossed over or completely ignored. A recent Washington Post article purporting to tell us “how things got so bad” explains to us that, “it’s a complicated story” involving “warring regional superpowers, terrorism, oil, and an impending climate catastrophe.”
No, Washington Post, it’s simpler than that. The tragedy in Yemen is the result of foreign military intervention in the internal affairs of that country. It started with the “Arab Spring” which had all the fingerprints of State Department meddling, and it escalated with 2015’s unprovoked Saudi attack on the country to re-install Riyadh’s preferred leader. Thousands of innocent civilians have been killed and millions more are at risk as starvation and cholera rage.
We are told that US foreign policy should reflect American values. So how can Washington support Saudi Arabia – a tyrannical state with one of the worst human rights record on earth – as it commits by what any measure is a genocide against the Yemeni people? The UN undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs warned just last week that Yemen faces “the largest famine the world has seen for many decades with millions of victims.” The Red Cross has just estimated that a million people are vulnerable in the cholera epidemic that rages through Yemen.
And why is there a cholera epidemic? Because the Saudi government – with US support – has blocked every port of entry to prevent critical medicine from reaching suffering Yemenis. This is not a war. It is cruel murder.
The United States is backing Saudi aggression against Yemen by cooperating in every way with the Saudi military. Targeting, intelligence, weapons sales, and more. The US is a partner in Saudi Arabia’s Yemen crimes.
Does holding hands with Saudi Arabia as it slaughters Yemeni children really reflect American values? Is anyone even paying attention?
The claim that we are fighting al-Qaeda in Yemen and thus our involvement is covered under the post-9/11 authorization for the use of force is without merit. In fact it has been reported numerous times in the mainstream media that US intervention on behalf of the Saudis in Yemen is actually a boost to al-Qaeda in the country. Al-Qaeda is at war with the Houthis who had taken control of much of the country because the Houthis practice a form of Shi’a Islam they claim is tied to Iran. We are fighting on the same side as al-Qaeda in Yemen.
Adding insult to injury, the US Congress can’t be bothered to even question how we got so involved in a war that has nothing to do with us. A few conscientious Members of Congress got together recently to introduce a special motion under the 1973 War Powers Act that would have required a vote on our continued military involvement in the Yemen genocide. The leadership of both parties joined together to destroy this attempt to at least get a vote on US aggression against Yemen. As it turns out, the only Members to vote against this shamefully gutted resolution were the original Members who introduced it. This is bipartisanship at its worst.
US involvement in Saudi Arabia’s crimes against Yemen is a national disgrace. That the mainstream media fails to accurately cover this genocide is shameful. Let us join our voices now to demand that our US Representatives end US involvement in Yemen immediately!
Yemen never even existed The Oligarchs tell us we are supposed to be paralyzed with horror that the country of Yemen might fall apart. So the Elites pump weapons into Yemen and Saudi Arabia in yet another an unconstitutional war.
The fact of the matter is Yemen didn't even exist until 1990. For centuries the area was part of the Ottoman Empire (above map). So the "horror" of a poverty stricken Yemen collapsing, vanishing and/or engaging in war means less than nothing.
A mural of US President Donald Trump sharing a kiss with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has popped up on Israel’s security barrier around the city of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank.
Tourists were snapping selfies in front of the painting Sunday, mimicking the kiss of the US and Israeli leaders.
Australian street artist, known as, Lushsux, told Reuters he wanted to draw attention to Palestinians being stuck in “an indoor prison” by creating the artwork.
With one hand Comrade Obama armed ISIS and other Islamist groups and with the other hand starved the pro-American Kurds of weapons.
Trump gave the Kurds a few more weapons. But now with ISIS collapsing we see Trump leaving the Kurds to twist slowly in the wind. . . . and in comes Russia to fill the void.
The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in Iraq announced it had signed a deal with the Russian state-owned oil corporation Rosneft that would allow the company to begin developing oil blocks worth a potential $400 million to the Kurds. The announcement follows a turbulent week for the KRG, as the Iran-backed government in Baghdad launched an invasion into its territory and wrested Kirkuk, an oil-rich province, out of the Kurds’ hands. Iraqi officials claim the invasion was necessary following the KRG’s decision to hold a non-binding referendum asking its citizens whether they would support a path to independence from Iraq. While many experts cite the Kurdish Peshmerga as the most effective ally of the United States against the Islamic State on the ground in Iraq, the Trump administration has refused to support the Kurds against the Iran-backed Shiite militias that have stormed Kirkuk, with President Donald Trump himself stating, “We’re not taking sides,” reports Breitbart. Bloomberg reports that the Rosneft deal will allow the Russian oil company to develop five oil blocks in Kurdistan. The contract would give “Rosneft 80 percent of the projects, the company said in a statement on Wednesday. Rosneft may pay a fee of as much as $400 million, half of which could be repaid in oil pumped from the deposits.” “The new agreements will allow us to talk about full-fledged entry of the company in one of the most promising regions,” Bloomberg quotes a statement from Rosneft as stating. The oil company statement estimated that the blocks in question would be complete by 2021, suggesting that the company expects to remain a long-term presence in the region despite the current stability, and expects the KRG to remain in control of the locations of those blocks throughout the process and not lose them to the Iraqi government.
2014 report. The Kurds stood up to ISIS while the Iraq army ran for the hills.
Being a US ally Counts for Shit Kurdish Peshmerga fighters guarding Mosul Dam in Iraq.
The ISIS Collapse Comrade Obama, Saudi Arabia and Turkey got the ball rolling by sending mountains of arms to Islamists in Syria. Russia and Iran only came in later to counter US armed Islamists. . Now with ISIS and US armed Islamist groups in collapse Russia and Iran are firmly in control. . Read our 2015 Story: kkRussia and Egypt's 'new partnership'
