FBI ‘Lovebirds’ Texts May Implicate Obama – Did He Know about the Dirty Dossier & FISA Warrants?

In September, 2016, FBI lawyer Lisa Page was preparing talking points for James Comey to update Obama on the agency's investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails, and she sent a text to her paramour, fellow FBI agent, Peter Strzok, that said, "potus wants to know everything we're doing." This raises questions about what Obama knew and when he knew it. Representative, Louis Gohmert, says that either the FISA judge was duped or he is part of the fraud.

Israel Sues New Zealanders for Free Speech in New Zealand

Israel is suing two New Zealanders for exercising freedom of speech inside their own country by posting an open letter requesting Lorde to boycott performances in Israel. Israel passed a law in 2011 that criminalizes the advocacy of boycotting its businesses. The government now is moving beyond its borders and seeking to punish boycotters in other countries as well. [That the Israeli government would seek to protect its own commerce is understandable, but that other governments would not protect the freedom-of-speech of their own citizens is bizarre.]

FDA Declares ‘Virtually All’ Homeopathic Meds Are Illegal

The FDA, on behalf of the pharmaceutical companies, is cracking down on homeopathic medicines, which increasingly have been competing with more expensive (and toxic) prescription drugs. An estimated six-million Americans now use homeopathic medicines. A recently released FDA 'guidance document' says that homeopathic medicines are considered as 'new drugs' being sold illegally (meaning without FDA approval and without a prescription).

War Drums: Trump’s National Security Advisor Threatens Iran

US General Michael Flynn officially put Iran on notice after Houthi rebels from Yemen attacked a Saudi Arabian naval ship. He blamed Iran for the attack because it previously backed the Houthis. General Flynn did not mention that Saudi Arabia has been attacking Yemen since 2015.

Syria: Without Evidence or Logic, US Ambassador to UN Says New Chemical Attack against Syrian Citizens Were Done by Syrian Government

A new chemical attack against Syrian citizens has been blamed on Syrian President Assad. Predictably, the US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley, is blaming Assad and calling for war before an independent investigation of the event can be conducted. It is highly suspicious that the medics at the scene of the supposed gas attack are the 'White Helmets' who are linked to al Qaeda’s and who previously have been exposed staging fake attacks and providing actors to play the role of victims.

Israel Launches Attack on Syria After Unverified Gas Attacks

Israel has been bombing Syria for years in an effort to provoke war, and they targeted a city near Damascus that is said to be a research facility related to chemical weapons. Israel's assault follows on the heels of allegations of a chemical attack on Syrian citizens. In its pursuit of regime change in Syria, Israel has given covert support to al-Qaeda linked groups. This latest attack is part of what has developed into an open state of war between Israel, Syria, and Syria's Iranian allied forces.

California: Judge Rules Baker Is Not Required to Bake Lesbian Wedding Cake

Bakersfield, California: Judge David Lampe ruled against forcing Cathy Miler, owner of Tasteries Bakery, to bake a cake for a lesbian couple, because it would violate her First Amendment rights.
