Censored-Suppressed VIDEO: Syrian President al-Assad Interview with Italian TV that Breaks all the Rules

On 26 November 2019, President al-Assad granted an interview to Rai News 24 journalist, Monica Maggioni. It was agreed that the interview would air on 2 December on both Italian Rai News 24 and Syrian national media outlets. Early on the morning of 2 December, the Italian channel decided to cancel the broadcast with no clear explanation. However, Syriana Analysis shares the interview in full to the general public, in order for them to judge.

Jerry Nadler: “We Cannot Rely on an Election to Solve Our Problems” — Must Remove Trump Now (VIDEO)

Democrat Judiciary Chari Jerry Nadler (D-NY) opened his committee impeachment hearing on Wednesday night saying, “We cannot rely on an election to solve our problems.”

Americans cannot be trusted to do the right thing and elect a Democrat.

So that’s why they are pushing this sham impeachment.

Astrophysicist Willie Soon debunks man-made CO2-caused global warming in 8 minutes… Meanwhile, the UN and Greta Thunberg are now demanding the US taxpayer pay massive climate reparations for all the harmless CO2 we emitted.

CO2 has NEVER been the driver of temperature on Earth. The main proof is the 500,000 year ice core record which shows CO2 lagging temperature every time by hundreds to thousands of years.

A bigger export than corn – the BLOOD of desperate Americans – LITERALLY

Respondents all agreed that they were indeed being exploited, but in more ways than one. Desperate Americans are allowed to donate twice per week (104 times per year). But losing that much plasma could have serious health consequences, most of which have not been studied Professor Schaefer warns, stressing that more research is necessary. Around 70 percent of donors experience health complications. Donors have a lower protein count in their blood, putting them at greater risk of infections and liver and kidney disorders. Many regulars suffer from near-permanent fatigue and are borderline anemic. All this for an average of $30 per visit. Rachel described the terrible Catch-22 many of the working poor find themselves in:

“I got turned away twice – once for being too dehydrated and once for being anemic. Being poor created a shitty paradox where I couldn’t eat, and because I couldn’t eat my iron levels weren’t high enough to allow me to donate. That was a week of a pay cut, money I desperately needed for rent and bills and meds.”

Below are the 15 countries that exported the highest dollar value worth of blood during 2018.

Ireland: US$3.2 billion (37.8% of total blood exports)

United States: $1.4 billion (16.3%)

To Avoid Repo Crisis Fed Will Flood Market With A Gargantuan $365 Billion In Year-End Liquidity

In previewing today's Fed statement regarding repurchase operations, on Tuesday Curvature Securities repo expert Scott Skyrm said that he expects the Fed to announce a $50 billion (at least) term operation for Monday December 23 (double the current term ops) and a $50 billion (at least) term operation for Monday, December 30. This prediction was in response to Zoltan Pozsar's warning that reserve levels are too low and the result would be a market crash that could spark QE4.

Well, moments ago the NY Fed did publish it latest weekly "Statement Regarding Repurchase Operations" as expected laying out the Fed's expected repo operations for the period December 13 - January 14… and it blew Skyrm's expectations out of the water

According to the statement, the NY Fed will continue to offer two-week term repo operations twice per week, four of which span year end. In addition, the Desk will also offer another longer-maturity term repo operation that spans year end. The amount offered in this operation will be at least $50 billion, just as Skyrm expected.

But there was more. Much more.

In addition, to avoid a year-end liquidity squeeze, Fed overnight repo operations will continue to be held each day, and just to be safe, the Fed will go to town: On December 31, 2019 and January 2, 2020, the overnight repo offering will increase to at least $150 billion to cover the "turn" in a flood of overnight liquidity. In addition, on December 30, 2019, the Desk will offer a $75 billion repo that settles on December 31, 2019 and matures on January 2, 2020.

And just in case that's not enough, the NY Fed's markets desk also added that it "intends to adjust the timing and amounts of repo operations as needed to mitigate the risk of money market pressures that could adversely affect policy implementation, consistent with the directive from the FOMC."

So to summarize: in addition to expanding the sizes of its "turn" overnight repos to $150 billion, the Fed will conduct a total of nine term repos from Dec 16 to Jan 14, 8 of which will amount to $35BN and the first will be $50BN, for a total injection of a whopping $365 billion in the coming month.

No US-Israel Defense Pact!

One of the most harebrained ideas to come down the pike in recent years is the proposed U.S.-Israel defense pact. The Jerusalem Post reports that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo “made progress” on finalizing the pact while meeting in Lisbon recently.

This is an idea that has absolutely nothing to recommend it. At a time when the US government should be ending its “collective defense arrangements” – NATO and the other six – such an arrangement with Israel is an especially bad idea. But it would be just as bad were it the only such arrangement the US government had.

Imagine the American state being formally obliged to defend Israel no matter what. (It’s clear the US government has been informally, politically obliged since 1967, but Israeli officials have not wanted US forces in the country. Israel receives $3.8 billion a year in military assistance, an investment that US officials would not leave unattended if it were jeopardized.) This would be outrageous even if Israel confined its military actions purely to self-defense – the government should not pledge American lives to another country’s defense. But in fact, Israel is one of the most aggressive nations on earth. Over the decades it has initiated wars against neighboring countries, not to mention against the Palestinians, most recently in the Gaza Strip. Israel portrays itself as threatened existentially by Iran, but in truth, Israel has been threatening and acting against Iran for a couple of decades. Israel’s ally in the covert, cyber, and proxy-terrorist warfare has been the US government. Iran has no nuclear weapons, but Israel does.

Not everyone in Israel wants a formal defense pact for fear that it would tie the Israeli government’s hands. Netanyahu’s political rival Benny Gantz and former security officials think this, but not everyone in Israel agrees. Some also see the proposed alliance as Netanyahu’s cynical way to assure he is returned to power – facing trial on corruption charges, he has failed to form a new government, despite two recent elections. Pompeo, who apparently wants to run for the Senate, may also be acting in his own political interest.

At any rate, the American people should resoundingly let the politicians know that the proposed collective defense arrangement with Israel should be scrapped.

No blood for Israel!

Six Illegal Aliens Arrested in Sex Trafficking Bust in Wisconsin

Six illegal aliens have been arrested in sex trafficking bust in Wisconsin after one of their alleged victims managed to escape and alert local authorities.

Police say they received an emergency distress call from an underage woman on Nov. 28, who claimed she had fled from a house in Manchester where she was being sold for sex. After raiding the residence, police arrested six men, all of whom they say were living in the United States illegally after coming here from Guatemala.

“Thirty-three-year-old Esler Hugo Rivera, 28-year-old Rolando Corado Gonzalez, 40-year-old Avelino Sarceno-Sarceno, 37-year-old Ember Rivera, 28-year-old Noe Bautista-Martinez and 31-year-old Evis Amabilio Garcia-Rivera were all arrested on suspicion of second-degree sexual assault,” Channel 3000 reported.

Investigators said they found multiple piece of evidence that the girl had been assaulted in the house, adding they believe Garcia-Rivera was trafficking the young woman among the other men.

All six men are being held at the Green Lake County Correctional Facility on cash bonds ranging from $20,000 to $50,000.

First Ever Official GDP Stats Released for Every US County

GDP is the value of goods and services produced within a county. The size of a county's economy as measured by GDP varies considerably across the United States. In 2018, the total level of real GDP ranged from $18.4 million in Issaquena County, MS, to $710.9 billion in Los Angeles County, CA.

Highlights

Large Counties: 141 counties with populations greater than 500,000 in 2018

Real GDP increased in 136 and decreased in 5.

GDP ranged from $11.2 billion in Pasco County, FL, to $710.9 billion dollars in Los Angeles County, CA.

Santa Clara County, CA, (10.2 percent) was the fastest growing large county. The information industry was the leading contributor to the county's growth.

Kern County, CA, (-0.7 percent) had the largest percentage decrease in GDP. The mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction industry (primarily oil and gas extraction) was the leading contributor to the decrease.

Medium Counties: 464 counties with populations between 100,000 and 500,000 in 2018

Real GDP increased in 433, decreased in 30, and was unchanged in 1.

GDP ranged from $2.0 billion in Saline County, AR, to $52.6 billion dollars in Morris County, NJ.

Canadian County, OK, (21.0 percent) was the fastest growing medium county. The mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction industry (primarily oil and gas extraction and support activities) was the leading contributor to the county's growth.

This is BEA's first official release of GDP by county statistics for 2001–2018 for all counties in the United States. The GDP by county statistics incorporate new and additional source data and methodology improvements to the December 2018 prototype GDP by county statistics. This release also expands the industry detail. The new GDP by county statistics along with BEA's county estimates of personal income offer a more complete picture of local area economic conditions.

The release of GDP by county statistics replaces the release of GDP by metropolitan area statistics, previously occurring each September. GDP by metropolitan area statistics will now be made available with the release of GDP by county statistics, as shown in table 2.

Additional information on the GDP by county statistics, including a brief overview of the estimating methodology and data sources, is available here. Additional in-depth information on the methodology will be available in the February 2020 issue of the Survey of Current Business.

Project Camelot: The White Hats Report Latest News via Paladin

I interview Paladin about current and future investigations and coming releases.

I interview Paladin, a forensic financial investigator and member of the website known as http://whitehatreports.com about the history of the whitehats and their investigations into financial fraud and deception at the highest levels of government.

Their investigation leads to high yield trading programs used to finance the secret space program and black projects. …”We are a group who have banded together to assist in the world’s awakening by reporting truth and exposing our fraudulent corporate government. We bring forth information that the mainstream media (MSM) refuses to report, and our news comes from high level “inside” intelligence sources.”– from www.whitehatreports.com about us page

The Millions The Bidens Took From Ukraine Pale in Comparison to The $130 Million Rip Off They Pulled on AMERICANS

If you read news from conservative media you have no doubt been exposed to the stories of Hunter Biden taking millions upon millions in foreign cash from Ukraine.

In fact, it has been reported that Hunter Biden was being paid $50,000 a month and didn’t even have to show up for work.

Bombshell: Hunter Biden NEVER Worked in Ukraine Despite Five Years on Burisma’s Board, While Being Paid $50,000 a Month

But $50,000 a month is peanuts compared to what he pulled off within our own borders.

An investment firm linked to Hunter Biden received over $130 million in federal bailout loans while his father Joe Biden was vice president and routed profits through a subsidiary in the Cayman Islands, according to federal banking and corporate records reviewed by the Washington Examiner.

Financial experts said the offshore corporate structure could have been used to shield earnings from U.S. taxes.

Rosemont Capital, an investment firm at the center of Hunter Biden’s much-scrutinized financial network, was one of the companies approved to participate in the 2009 federal loan program known as the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility, or TALF.

Under the program, the U.S. Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve Bank issued billions of dollars in highly favorable loans to select investors who agreed to buy bonds that banks were struggling to offload, including bundled college and auto loans.

According to federal records, 177 firms participated in TALF, many of them well connected in Washington or on Wall Street. For investors, there was little risk and a high chance of reward. The Federal Reserve funded as much as 90% of the investments. If the bonds were profitable, the borrowers benefited. If not, the department agreed to take over the depreciated assets with no repercussions for the borrowers.

“It’s very complicated to become qualified as a TALF borrower or as a TALF fund, if you will,” Carol Pepper, a wealth management specialist, told Forbes in 2009. “But that’s an example of where, if you can get into a TALF fund, you can benefit from this government program.”

Under the terms for the program, any U.S. company looking to invest in select categories of bonds was eligible to apply for the loans. However, the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve maintained the “right to reject a borrower for any reason,” and the internal selection process was criticized by some lawmakers as opaque and open to corruption.

Netflix Releases ‘Gay Jesus’ Christmas Special

Netflix has just released a “gay Jesus” Christmas special called The First Temptation of Christ.

The Brazilian comedy group Porta dos Fundos (which literally translates to “back door”) appears to have a real hang-up about our Lord and Christianity in general. Last December the group released The Last Hangover on Netflix, a movie that blends Christ’s Last Supper with his disciples and The Hangover into a night of drunken debauchery where Jesus disappears.

This year, in this new Christmas special, Jesus turns 30 and brings his gay boyfriend home to meet Mary and Joseph.

Already, 1.14 million Brazilians have signed a Change.org petition asking Netflix to remove the movie.

Here’s a reviewer’s description:

The setup is that Jesus (Gregório Duvivier) attends his 30th birthday surprise party with his boyfriend Orlando (Fábio Porchat). The party, thrown by José (Rafael Portugal) and Maria (Evelyn Castro), has a number of high-profile biblical guests, including God (Antonio Tabet), which prompts plenty of debate about parental rights and responsibilities as Christ grapples not just with his parentage but with his own spiritual journey.

The real story here is how Christians are reacting… Some are signing petitions, others are praying for the souls of all involved, most of us are rolling our eyes and moving on with our lives — because that’s what Christians do. We don’t lop off people’s heads, which is why it is always open season on us, which is to our credit.

Personally, I wouldn’t sign a petition or call for a ban on this — or anything. If you want to live in a free society and country, you have to grow a thick enough skin not to care about this stuff. But that doesn’t mean I’m not taking notes…

If you’re a satirist, you satirize everyone equally.

If you’re a bigot, you single certain groups out for mockery and place others off limits.

In this way, lazy, cowardly garbage like The First Temptation of Christ is useful — it exposes who the bigots are, and if this so-called comedy troupe wants to produce a “Gay Mohammed” special for Ramadan and Netflix wants to stream it, I will take it all back.

Actor Patton Oswalt: If You Voted for Trump You’re a Stupid Asshole, If You Still Support Him You’re a Stupid Asshole

Actor Patton Oswalt didn’t mince words on Thursday when he declared that every person who voted for and still supports President Donald Trump is a “stupid asshole.”

“The President is a stupid asshole and if you voted for him you’re a stupid asshole and if you still support him you’re a stupid asshole,” Patton Oswalt said. “Oh no this Tweet is going to make all the stupid assholes not like me waaaaah.”

The Secret Life of Pets 2 actor’s screed was in response to President Trump’s Thursday morning tweet about global warming alarmist Greta Thunberg.

“So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!” President Trump said about the 16-year-old, who was recently named TIME magazine Person of the Year.

Of course this isn’t the first time Patton Oswalt has lobed personal attacks against Trump’s supporters.

Last August, Oswalt, writing in an essay published on McSweeny’s said that those who support President Trump “can fuck right off.”

The King of Queens star, who called Hillary Clinton a “badass” for campaigning after being diagnosed with pneumonia, also said earlier this year that “America elected an openly racist, failed grifter, sexual predator to the highest office in the land — all by ourselves.”

Voting ends as Algerians protest against presidential election

Polls closed on Thursday as Algeria’s presidential election with five candidates, which was opposed by a large protest movement, came to an end. Preliminary results are expected on Friday, with official results later this month and a possible second-round run-off in early January.

Thousands of people took to the streets in Algiers and other cities earlier in the day. In the capital, police rushed the crowd with sticks to disperse the marchers, but fell back as more protesters arrived, Reuters reports.

The military-backed government sees the vote as the only way to end 10 months of unrest that brought down veteran president Abdelaziz Bouteflika in April. The demonstrators say no vote to replace him can be legitimate while the old guard still holds sway.

Officials said that 33 percent of registered voters had cast ballots by 16:00 GMT, two hours before polls closed.
