Israeli occupation authorities issue 11-year prison sentence against Sedqi al-Maqet

Israeli occupation authorities issued an 11-year unfair prison sentence against Sedqi Suliman al-Maqet, the “Dean of Syrian and Arab Captives.”

The released captive Suliman al-Maqet, who is also the father of Sedqi, condemned the ruling issued by the racist Israeli courts, describing it as “null and illegal.”

He called on the international human rights organizations to pressure the Israeli occupation authorities to stop their aggressive and oppressive policies against the people of the occupied Syrian Golan and to overturn this inhumane ruling.

He pointed out that the charges against Sedqi were incorrect and purely political as the order of his arrest came through coordination between the Turkish and Saudi regimes with the occupation authorities.

Faked concern: Haley & corporate media bleating about Idlib civilians, ignore terrorists’ presence

Nikki Haley, the hypocritical US Ambassador to the UN, mistakenly thinks she can dictate – from New York City, far from the terrorists which her country supports – that the Syrian army cannot fight and eradicate al-Qaeda in Idlib.

Her, and other American figures' words, come with faked concern over the lives of Syrian civilians.

The other reality Haley and co-regime change mouthpieces whitewash is that once these areas are liberated of Al-Qaeda, Ahrar al-Sham, Jaysh al-Islam, and the myriad other extremist terrorist groups, life gets back to normal, schools reopen, cities and towns repopulate, ancient traditions resume as they have for thousands of years in this cradle of civilization.

Russia Slams Hacking Accusations Against It As Coordinated Propaganda Campaign

On October 8th, the Russian Foreign Ministry said that it would summon the Dutch Ambassador in connection to the “misinformation campaign” launched by the Netherlands regarding the Netherlands’ accusations of espionage against Moscow.

The Foreign Ministry said that the propaganda campaign initiated by the West to present Moscow as the enemy and to accuse Russia of “world-wide” cyber-attacks is aimed at diverting attention from efforts of the US and allies to increase their own cyber potentials and prepare for cyber warfare operations.

“There is no doubt that the campaign to demonize Russia and the cyberattack charges brought against us are intended to divert the attention of the Western public from the efforts of the United States and its allies to build their own cyber potentials and prepare for cyberwarfare operations,” the ministry said

Moscow emphasized that the Dutch accusations were aimed at starting a new spin of propaganda and they were coordinated with accusations made by the US and UK.

The Foreign Ministry also reiterated that despite accusing the Russian citizens in April, no official charges were pressed against them when they were detained in the Hague.

“There was nothing secret about the group of Russian technical experts’ trip. It was a completely open and routine business trip. Different government organizations and agencies, including the Russian Ministry of Defense, manage the day-to-day activities of Russian diplomatic missions abroad,” the Russian Foreign Ministry informed.

“They were not asked any questions. They simply had their equipment, including mobile phones, seized, thereby depriving them of the opportunity to promptly contact the embassy,” it said.

USS Truman to Sail in Massive NATO Exercises

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is set to kick off the military alliance’s biggest exercise in 20 years later this month, with the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group participating in the drills, NATO officials said Tuesday.

Speaking in Brussels Tuesday at NATO headquarters, Adm. James G. Foggo announced, "The aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and its striker, including its ships and aircraft, will participate in Trident Juncture." Foggo is a commander in the US Navy and is the chief of NATO naval forces.

The Trident Juncture will feature military participation from all 29 NATO members and will include cooperation from Sweden and Finland. According to Foggo, the exercise has three themes, known as the three D's: "NATO is a defensive alliance, Trident Juncture demonstrates our credible capability, and together we deter potential adversaries."

The drills will take place in Norway from October 25 through November 7, according to NATO officials. In sum, approximately 50,000 personnel are expected to train in the drills.

When asked about the drills' proximity to Russian borders, Norwegian Lt. Gen. Rune Jakobsen said, "The core exercise area is more than 1,000 kilometers from the Russian border, and air operations could take place up to 500 kilometers away from the border, so there should not be any reason for the Russians to get scared or see this as something else than a defensive exercise."

The USS Truman was previously stationed in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea conducting operations against the terrorist group Daesh.

‘Demagoguery and Lies’ Ex-CIA Chief Brennan Lashes Out at Trump, McConnell and Graham After Kavanaugh Confirmed

Former CIA Director John Brennan lashed out at President Trump and Republican Senators Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham Tuesday morning.

Apparently John Brennan isn’t happy that top Republican Senators are standing up to the Communists Democrats who launched an unprecedented smear campaign against Brett Kavanaugh.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) wowed the Trump base after he unloaded on Democrats during the Kavanaugh hearing, accusing them of the greatest political sham he’s ever seen.

Graham continued to galvanize the Trump base after he taunted left-wing protesters with epic one-liners, defending Kavanaugh.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) received a well-deserved standing ovation in the East Room of the White House Monday evening ahead of Kavanaugh’s swearing-in ceremony for his tireless work to bring Brett Kavanaugh across the finish line.

McConnell promised the American people the Senate was going to plow right through and confirm Kavanaugh–credit given where credit is due. Thank you, Mitch McConnell for defending Kavanaugh!

Brett Kavanaugh was sworn in as the 114th Supreme Court Justice in U.S. history Saturday.

Brennan is angry that Trump and the GOP are winning. Kavanaugh is Trump’s SECOND SCOTUS win and the swamp is not happy.

BRENNAN: It is impossible to overstate @realDonaldTrump’s corrosive impact on our political culture & national character. Rejection of his demagoguery, his lies, and the politics of fear espoused by McConnell & Graham is at hand. If you want to make a difference, vote!!!

John Brennan previously called Christine Ford a “national treasure” and lashed out at Brett Kavanaugh, claiming his “temperament and blatant partisanship are disqualifying of a Supreme Court seat.”

And we’re supposed to believe John Brennan didn’t weaponize the intel community against Donald Trump…

An Open Letter to Republican National Committee Regarding Vaccines as a Campaign Agenda

Mrs. Ronna McDaniels, Chairwoman

Republican National Committee

310 First Street SE

Washington DC 20003

Dear Mrs. McDaniels:

In 2016 then-candidate president Donald J. Trump campaigned on a matter of grave interest to many Americans, especially those who have vaccine damaged children. Upon becoming President he spoke about establishing a Vaccine Science and Safety Commission headed up by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

As a supporter of, and advocate for, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Children’s Health Defense organization (www.ChildrensHealthDefense.org) I would like to see the RNC’s platform from now until the 2020 election cycle, include the fulfillment of one of President Trump’s campaign issues i.e., vaccine safety. President Trump has already fulfilled many of his campaign promises and establishing this vaccine commission would be like ‘icing on the cake’.

Vaccine industry misrepresentation of vaccine safety is rooted in their failure of fully informed consent regarding health harming and toxic ingredients mandatorily injected into our children. Concomitantly, and possibly coincidentally, since the enactment of the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 the number of mandated vaccines has escalated significantly. Currently, a child born today will have 65 doses of various vaccines by the time they reach 18, with 49 of those doses for 14 vaccines by age 6. The cumulative impact of health damaging and toxic ingredients in vaccines have never been studied and are now thought by many scientists to be a major part of the neurodevelopment and immune system damage being visited on our children. For example, most vaccines contain aluminum, a known brain toxin, and many contain live viruses now suspect in this health crisis.

Particularly egregious is vaccinating pregnant women, which was anathema to the teaching of all health practitioners who considered even the consumption of one aspirin to be of concern. . Could pregnancy vaccinations be contributing to the U.S. having 50% more first-day newborn deaths than all other industrialized nations combined? (5/7/13 Michelle Castillo CBS news report) Could the Hepatitis B vaccine given newborns on their day of birth be contributing to these deaths?

Could these vaccinations be part of the reason our children are dead last in mortality of the 20 wealthiest nations? (1/8/18 CNN report by Jacqueline Howard).

According to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the Children’s Health Defense more than half of our kids are chronically ill; Autism is as high as 28% in some states; and one in six children has a learning or behavioral disorder.

An Open Letter…continued

As a perfect example of “vaccine politics,” Representative Bill Posey of Florida went before Congress on July 29, 2015 to call for an investigation into the CDC whistleblower William Thompson PhD’s revelation of fraud.

Drug Companies are Stealing from You

…with the help of the federal government and universities. Action Alert!

The high cost of prescription drugs has recently made headlines, evidenced by price-gouging schemes that cause drug prices to skyrocket 5,000% (as in the case with the infamous Martin Shkreli and the drug Daraprim) or Mylan’s more recent price hike on EpiPen’s to over $600 for a two-pack. What’s often left out of these stories, however, is how the federal government helped the pharmaceutical industry have this kind of power over drug pricing by allowing the industry to take advantage of publicly-funded research.

This stunning history is discussed at length in an article in The New Republic magazine, but here are the highlights: of the 210 medicines approved by the FDA between 2010 and 2016, every one originated in government labs, or university labs funded by the government. But it wasn’t always the case that the pharmaceutical industry could rake in billions of dollars in profit from publicly-funded research. For a long time, the US government retained the patents that sprung from government research.

This began to change in 1968, when the National Institutes of Health (NIH) revived the Institutional Patent Agreement program which allowed non-profits—mostly universities, in this case—to claim the licenses of medicines developed with government funds. Whereas before, inventors using NIH funds were required to assign patents back to the federal government, now they could be sold to the pharmaceutical industry. This trend was solidified in 1980 with the University and Small Business Patent Procedures Act, which allowed universities, non-profits, and small businesses to own, patent, and commercialize inventions developed with government research dollars.

Universities get government money to do research, patent any novel inventions that arise from that research, and sell the patents to the pharmaceutical industry. Consumers are forced to pay monopoly prices for drugs that their tax money helped develop.

Later in 1980, the Supreme Court decided that genes and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) could be patented, which sparked a gold rush in biotechnology. In the following years, more Pharma-friendly legislation was passed. The Orphan Drug Act, for example, provided incentives to the pharmaceutical industry to develop drugs for rare diseases; the Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 1992 put Big Pharma in charge of funding the FDA, the agency tasked with overseeing the industry; and the FDA Act of 1997 paved the way for direct-to-consumer drug advertising.

These policies have created the pharmaceutical industry as we know it today. We have a series of monopolies created and protected by the power of the federal government for drugs that can be dangerous and (often times) don’t work. Meanwhile, natural alternatives to these drugs are harassed and restricted by federal regulators, all in the name of protecting the bottom line of the drug companies.

And now, as we’ve been reporting for some months, we see pharmaceutical companies turning supplements into drugs, selling them at exorbitant prices, and removing the supplement versions. Our tax dollars fund their blockbuster drugs, and with those profits they are taking our supplements away. This cannot be allowed to stand.

Action Alert! If you haven’t already, send a message to Congress telling them to close the back-channel at the FDA that allows Big Pharma to turn nutrients into drugs. Please send your message immediately.

NYT Claims Trump Campaign (Almost) Colluded With Israeli Spies

It's been 24-48 hours since the 'deep state'-media lost their battle over Kavanaugh's SCOTUS confirmation, so it makes sense that the narrative should quickly flip to something else to throw shade on President Trump. The New York Times stepped up to the plate with a story that had everything needed for the next news cycle - a Trump campaign staff member involved in collusion with a third party that is linked to a foreign government… oh and meeting at Trump Tower.

There's just one thing (well three): the 'colluding' nation is allegedly Israel (not Russia), the plans were not acted upon, and lawyers claim none of this actually happened.

The NYT Story begins with a great Deep State headline - Rick Gates Sought Online Manipulation Plans From Israeli Intelligence Firm for Trump Campaign

Senator Rand Paul Worries That Current Political Climate is Going to Lead to An Assassination

Speaking to a Kentucky radio station on Tuesday, Senator Rand Paul stated that he is concerned that if lawmakers don’t settle down with their insane rhetoric, it could lead to an assassination.

Discussing the intense fight over the Supreme Court nomination of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Senator Paul (R-KY) stated that he was concerned that there “is going to be an assassination.”

“I really worry that someone is going to be killed and that those who are ratcheting up the conversation … they have to realize that they bear some responsibility if this elevates to violence,” Paul said.

Senator Paul discussed how in 2017 he was at the Congressional Baseball Game where five people were shot by a crazed leftist, including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise. He also recounted the assault on him by his neighbor last year.

“These are people that are unstable. We don’t want to encourage them,” he added. “We have to somehow ratchet it down and say we’re not encouraging them that violence is ever OK.”

When asked about Senator Cory Booker urging people to “get up in the face of some congresspeople and tell them about common sense solutions” about how to end homelessness, Senator Paul warned that he could push someone into using violence.

“I think what people need to realize is when people like Cory Booker say ‘get up in their face,’ he may think that that’s OK,” Paul said. “But what he doesn’t realize is that for about every 1,000” people who “might want to get up in your face, one of them is going to be unstable enough to commit violence.”

NATO, UK prepare for WAR on Russia in the Arctic

The NATO military alliance is preparing for war in the Arctic, and deliberately confronting Russia by conducting manoeuvres ever-closer to its borders.

On September 30 the UK’s foreign minister, Jeremy Hunt, delivered an astonishing tirade, saying “The EU was set up to protect freedom. It was the Soviet Union that stopped people leaving. The lesson from history is clear: if you turn the EU club into a prison, the desire to get out won’t diminish, it will grow — and we won’t be the only prisoner that will want to escape.”

His comparison of the EU to gulags of former years played well with many people in Britain, but was understandably regarded as totally inappropriate by the EU, whose spokesman’s polite observation was “I would say respectfully that we would all benefit – and in particular foreign affairs ministers – from opening a history book from time to time.”

The lunacy didn’t stop there. Not content with insulting the EU’s 27 countries, the government in London decided to whip up even more patriotic fervour by again trying to portray Russia as a threat to the United Kingdom.

In June 2018 the UK’s Sun newspaper carried the headline “Britain will send RAF Typhoon fighter jets to Iceland in bid to tackle Russian aggression” and since then Mr Williamson hasn’t altered his contention that “the Kremlin continues to challenge us in every domain.” (Williamson is the man who declared in March 2018 that “Frankly Russia should go away — it should shut up,” which was one of the most juvenile public utterances of recent years.)

It was reported on September 29 that Williamson was concerned about “growing Russian aggression ‘in our backyard’,” and that the Government was drawing up a “defence Arctic strategy” with 800 commandos being deployed to a new base in Norway. In an interview “Mr Williamson highlighted Russia’s re-opening of Soviet-era bases and ‘increased tempo’ of submarine activity as evidence that Britain needed to ‘demonstrate we’re there’ and ‘protect our interests’.”

Mr Williamson has not indicated what “interests” the United Kingdom could have in the Arctic region, where it has no territory.

The eight countries with territory north of the Arctic Circle are Canada, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden and the United States. They have legitimate interests in the region which is twice the area of the US and Canada combined. But Britain has not one single claim to the Arctic. Not even a tenuous one like Iceland’s, which is based on the fact that although its mainland is not within the Arctic Circle, the Circle does pass through Grimsey Island, about 25 kilometres north of Iceland’s north coast. Britain’s Shetland Islands, its northernmost land, are 713 kilometres (443 miles) south of the Arctic Circle.
