1…………> Cuff The Dealers: President Trump

1600 daily
The White House • August 16, 2018

President Donald J. Trump is hosting a meeting of his Cabinet before sitting down with the Secretary of Homeland Security this afternoon.

Punishing drug dealers, not victims
In March, President Trump laid out his three-part plan to combat America’s deadly opioid crisis: reducing demand, cutting off illicit suppliers, and expanding opportunities for proven treatment.

A vital part of the plan is law enforcement’s role in tackling opioid abuse and halting the spread of addiction in our communities. Earlier this summer, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced the launch of Operation Synthetic Opioids Surge (SOS), which embraces a zero-tolerance policy toward synthetic opioid trafficking.

“I sent more than 300 new assistant US attorneys to districts across America, including one to Maine. It was the largest prosecutor surge in decades,” the Attorney General writes. “Having served as a federal prosecutor for 14 years, I know what a difference that can make.”

This operation punishes the right people: distributors of illegal drugs, not the victims suffering from addiction. For these victims, the Trump Administration is pursuing ways to expand evidence-based treatment, such as ensuring that the first responder is supplied with lifesaving medication used to reverse overdoses.

2…………> The Crisis Next Door: Opioid Addiction

 

Opioids killed more people last year than either car accidents or gun violence. This crisis of addiction can affect any American, from all-state football captains to stay-at-home mothers.

As a result, Americans across the country are feeling the weight of the crisis next door.

Share your story below by uploading a video about how you overcame addiction, volunteered at a recovery center, or worked as a family to help a loved one get on the path to recovery.

3…………> A Quiet Revolution: Rebuilding The Judiciary

Policies can change with each new Administration, but restoring our nation’s courts with judges committed to interpreting the law—not creating it—will benefit Americans for years to come.

Supreme Court nominations get the most attention, and Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the High Court will indeed be a landmark win for conservatives. But given the sheer volume of cases in America, lower courts offer the last word in thousands of rulings each year.

“With little fanfare, [President] Trump and [Senate Majority Leader Mitch] McConnell reshape the nation’s circuit courts,” The Washington Post reported this week.

“With 24 confirmations and 13 vacancies to fill, Trump and the Republicans have the power to install more than 20% of the judges on the nation’s second-highest courts.”

The Senate has already confirmed more of President Trump’s appellate judges than any President during his first two years in office. The result will be a Federal judiciary that is far more committed to the rule of law than to the practice of judges.

4…………> Queen Of Soul: Aretha Franklin

 

Aretha Franklin, the teenage gospel singer who rose to become the Queen of Soul, selling 75 million records and inspiring generations, has passed away at her home in Detroit surrounded by family and loved ones. She was 76.

“Franklin’s official cause of death was due to advance pancreatic cancer of the neuroendocrine type, which was confirmed by Franklin’s oncologist, Dr. Philip Phillips of Karmanos Cancer Institute” in Detroit.

“In one of the darkest moments of our lives, we are not able to find the appropriate words to express the pain in our heart,” the statement continued.

“We have lost the matriarch and rock of our family. The love she had for her children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins knew no bounds.”

Franklin was known for her powerful voice and for many hits, including Respect, (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, Chain of Fools and Think.

She won 18 Grammy Awards and became the first female performer inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

5…………> “Enemy of the People”: US Press

 

More than 300 “Fake news” media outlets have launched a campaign to counter President Donald Trump’s attacks and promote a free press, led by the failing Boston Globe that called last week for a public denouncement of the president’s “dirty war” against the media, using the hashtag #EnemyOfNone.

Mr. Trump has derided media reports as “fake news” and attacked journalists as “enemies of the people.”

UN “yes men and bootlickers” experts have said this raises the risk of violence against journalists.

The initial positive response from 100 news organizations has grown closer to 350 with major US national newspapers and smaller local outlets answering the call, along with international publications like the UK newspaper “The Guardian”.

Starting with the Boston Globe itself, the editorial there, headlined Journalists “Are Not The Enemy”, argued that a free press had been a core American principle for more than 200 years.

The New York Times chose the headline “A Free Press Needs You”, calling Mr. Trump’s attacks as “dangerous to the lifeblood of democracy.” It published excerpts from dozens of more publications beneath.

1…………> Ivanka In Steel Country: PA

 

Message body

1600 daily

The White House • August 15, 2018

Ivanka Trump in Steel Country Throughout the past month, President Donald J. Trump’s Pledge to America’s

Workers have been earning commitments from companies in every corner of the country. Ivanka Trump has helped lead the charge, visiting factories, schools, and training facilities in Illinois, Iowa, and elsewhere—often at the President’s side.

In Pittsburgh, Ms. Trump met the Girls of Steel robotics team and saw the Peregrine, a new lunar lander that will return America to the Moon. Last week in Illinois, she laid out the Administration’s plan of action.

“Right now, we come second to Mexico is—not just the public, but—the private sector’s investment in American workers after the age of 22,” she told students and local leaders in Godfrey, Illinois.

“So we’ve called upon the private sector to partner with us and to sign, what we call, our Pledge to America’s Workers.”

More than 4.2 million new opportunities have been created from the Pledge to date. Preparing America’s workers for both the jobs of today and tomorrow is a top priority for President Trump. That’s why the Administration, in particular, Ivanka, recently helped secure passage of the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, which authorizes more than $1 billion in funding for workforce development programs.

2…………> Brenan Axed: Security Clearance

 

President Trump revoked the security clearance of ex-CIA chief John Brennan, denying the US president’s critic any access to sensitive information, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders announced.

The statement cited Mr. Brennan’s “erratic conduct and behavior.”

In response, Mr. Brennan tweeted that the move was part of President Trump’s broader effort to “suppress freedom of speech and punish critics. It should gravely worry all Americans, including intelligence professionals, about the cost of speaking out.  My principles are worth far more than clearances. I will not relent.”

Sarah Sanders read President Trump’s statement as follows:

“As the head of the executive branch and commander-in-chief, I have a unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nation’s classified information, including by controlling access to it. I have decided to revoke the security clearance of John Brennan, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency.”

4…………> The Twitter Subpoena: Wikileaks 

 

In the continuing vendetta campaign against WikiLeaks, Russia and pro-Trump supporters, the law firm of Cohen, Milstein, Sellers & Toll, PLLC that is representing the DNC, notified WikiLeaks it had been sued by merely mentioning the document publisher in a tweet and dumping the associated legal URLs to fill out the rest of the tweet.

“By Court order, you are being served with the following legal documents,” the law firm said August 10.

“After getting no response through traditional methods, Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll served WikiLeaks via Tweet Friday, posting a complaint by its client, the Democratic National Committee, that alleges a conspiracy by Russians, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks to hack and sabotage the party during the 2016 elections.”

Gold down to 1174.2 and USD/CHF down 0.99 due to President Trump setting tariffs on Chinese products. Translation? As the dollar goes down, we have to wait and see if the new Fed Chair Jerome Powell will continue pressuring gold and the Eurasian block with it down below $1000/oz in an economic WW3. Watch cover short at 25,300.
We have to wait and see if new Fed chair Powell will attempt to destroy Eurasian block by sending gold prices below 1000, despite the fact both Russia and China have been buying their whole gold production in local gold backed currency instead of money printing machines. In other words, US has lost controls of the precious metals complex, and with Trump’s infrastructure and tax cut campaign the National debt will soon be at, or over 30 trillion dollars, since D.C. swamp alligators have no intention dropping their pet projects. Read “Ziban Must Die” for more details on the coming collision of Trump’s administration with “Deep State” operators funded by the billionaires’ supporters of the New World Disorder.

1…………> Crooked Bank: RBS

 

The Justice Department announced today a $4.9 billion settlement with The Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc (RBS) resolving federal civil claims that RBS misled investors in the underwriting and issuing of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) between 2005 and 2008. The penalty is the largest imposed by the Justice Department for financial crisis-era misconduct at a single entity under the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, which authorizes the federal government to seek civil penalties against financial institutions that violate various predicate criminal offenses, including wire and mail fraud.

“Many Americans suffered lasting economic harm as a result of the 2008 financial crisis,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio.

“This settlement holds RBS accountable for serious misconduct that contributed to that financial crisis, and it sends an important message that the Department of Justice will pursue financial institutions that illicitly harm the American economy and our consumers.”

The settlement includes a statement of facts that details – using contemporaneous calls and emails of RBS executives – how RBS routinely made misrepresentations to investors about significant risks it failed to disclose about its RMBS. RBS was unable to communicate systemic problems with originators’ loan underwriting. RBS’s reviews of loans backing its RMBS (known as “due diligence”) confirmed that loan originators had failed to follow their underwriting procedures and that their processes were ineffective at preventing risky loans from being made. As a result, RBS routinely found that borrowers for the investments in its RMBS could not repay and that appraisals for the properties guaranteeing the loans had materially inflated the property values. RBS never disclosed that these material risks both existed and increased the likelihood that investments in its RMBS would default. RBS changed due diligence findings without justification. RBS’s due diligence practices did not remove fraudulent and high-risk loans from its RMBS.

2…………> Goodbye Dollar, Welcome SDR: World’s Currency

 

The use of the U.S. dollar to put pressure on other countries will lead to the creation of an alternative world currency, costing the dollar its world currency status. 

“But today the U.S. administration is doing everything for the creation of a new world currency. More and more countries are considering transactions in national currencies. Meanwhile, the BRICS countries, which Turkey seems to be interested in joining, are discussing the possibility of creating a new currency for payments within the BRICS,” a Russian politician said, referring to the bloc of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

The deputy said a BRICS currency would have good prospects because the bloc possesses half of the world population, 30% of the world’s industry, and 40% of the world’s agriculture as well as the most prominent natural resources deposits.

“The process of creating an alternative world currency can be completed within five years. It will depend on Washington, as the more the U.S. uses the dollar to exert pressure, the more motivation other countries will have to deny payments in the dollar,” he concluded.

3…………> Hacker Attack: World Banks

 

A cyber attack on an Indian bank turned out to be a carbon copy of an alert from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), as Cosmos Bank said hackers stole about $13.5 million in a matter of minutes over the weekend from withdrawals in 28 countries in an ATM cash-out attack.

“The transactions were carried out using fake debit cards,” Cosmos Bank Chairman Milind Kale said in a statement.

“The deposit of account holders is safe and intact. However, as a precautionary measure, we have stopped the online system for two days.

The bureau issued an alert that cybercriminals are planning an attack on payment card processors and banks, by cloning debit cards and use them at ATMs around the world at the same time to steal millions of dollars. The scheme is known as an ATM cash-out.

4…………> Back To “Uncle Adolf”: Sen. Anning

 

Senator Fraser Anning used his first speech to Parliament to argue that all Muslims should be banned from migrating to Australia, saying there should be a national vote to decide who can enter Australia, calling this the “final solution.”

The term came to prominence when Hitler’s lieutenant Hermann Goering wrote to Heinrich Himmler’s deputy Reinhard Heydrich and commissioned him with carrying out what the Nazis called “the final solution of the Jewish question.”

“That was in a sense the commencement of what we today refer to most commonly as the Holocaust,” historian Dr. Bonnell explained.

The following January, the notorious Wannsee Conference was convened by the leaders of Nazi and German state agencies. There, they discussed how to implement the final solution and coordinate their efforts towards the mass deportation of Jews to extermination camps and killing fields that led to the death deaths of an estimated 6 million Jews.

5………….> Russian Mystery Satelity: A Space Weapon?

 

“A Russian [mystery] satellite that was launched in October last year exhibits behavior on-orbit inconsistent with anything seen before from on-orbit inspection or space situational awareness capabilities, including other Russian inspection satellite activities”, said State Department assistant secretary Yleem Poblete at a conference in Switzerland.

“Russian intentions concerning this satellite are unclear and are a very troubling development,” she added, citing recent comments made by the commander of Russia’s Space Forces, who said adopting “new prototypes of weapons” was a key objective for the force.

Is the mystery object a “space weapon” that can use lasers or microwave emissions that could just stop [a satellite] working for a time, either disable it permanently without destroying it or disrupt it via jamming? Stand by.
