NBC’s Chuck Todd: Religious People Like Trump Because They Believe ‘fairy tales’

 

This is absolutely sickening, and yet another reason why the Democrats and Mainstream Media do not understand how Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential election. These attacks like this on Christian’s are the key.

 

The following is part of an amazing piece from our friends at LifeSiteNews.com

 

On Sunday, NBC News Political Director Chuck Todd dedicated the final Meet the Press of 2019 to insisting President Trump had brought about a “post-truth society.”

 

The same network that pushed the totally-bunk Steele dossier for years and tried to sink Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination with the ridiculous allegations from Julie Swetnick, wanted to lecture the public about falling for and spreading lies and misinformation. In the process, Todd lashed out at Christians for believing in “fairy tales.”

 

“This Sunday, alternative facts. The assault on truth (…) This morning, Meet the Press takes an in-depth look at our post-truth society and how a changing media landscape has created chaos out of order,” Todd indignantly announced during the opening tease.

 

Todd began the show by lauding BuzzFeed News for discovering a “fake news farm” in the Macedonian town of Veles. “Some 140 websites pushing out made-up, pro-Trump, quote, ‘news stories’ written for Americans,” he added.

 

Unfortunately for Todd, BuzzFeed News was itself a kind of fake news farm. They were the first news outlet to publish the debunked Steele dossier, which was maliciously used by the FBI to obtain spy warrants against a Trump campaign aide. They were also the subject of one of the rare public statements from the Special Counsel during the Russia probe. Robert Mueller rebuked reporting claiming Trump lawyer Michael Cohen was directed to lie to Congress by the President.

 

Todd would eventually bring on New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet and Washington Post editor Marty Baron to opine about fake news. In a conversation about the media’s need to fact-check in the Trump era, Baquet seemed to admit his paper wasn’t interested in fact-checking presidents until Trump came along:

 

I mean, Marty has a very extensive fact check operation as do we. And those things didn’t exist three or four years ago and they’re an acknowledgment that one of the jobs of the news media is to sort through all of the BS, if I can say that.

 

In the midst of their conversation, Todd latched onto a random, almost year-old letter to the Lexington Herald Leader. It was a letter he held up as a “fascinating attempt to kind of explain why some people support President Trump.” Reading from the letter, Todd proceeded to bash Christians, Jews, and Muslims for their religious beliefs:

 

“Why do good people support Trump? It’s because people have been trained from childhood to believe in fairy tales. This set their minds up to accept things that make them feel good. The more fairy tales and lies he tells the better they feel. Show me a person who believes in Noah’s ark, and I will show you a Trump voter.“

 

“Look, this gets at something, Dean, that my executive producer likes to say, voters want to be lied to sometimes. They don’t always love being told hard truths,” Todd proclaimed.

Russian, Chinese top diplomats stress that US strikes in Baghdad violate UN charter

 

The ministers focused on the consequences of US strikes on the Baghdad airport, which led to casualties, including Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani

 

MOSCOW, January 4. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Chinese colleague Wang Yi have stressed that US strikes in Baghdad, which killed Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani, violate the UN Charter, the Russian Foreign Ministry informed on the outcomes of the phone call between the Russian and Chinese top diplomats on Saturday.

 

"[The ministers] focused on the consequences of US strikes on the Baghdad airport, which led to casualties, including Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Quds Force commander Qasem Soleimani," the ministry noted. "The ministers have stressed that the use of force in violation of the UN Charter is unacceptable. They called for all countries to respect the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of other states."

 

"The ministers have noted that the unlawful act by the USA has exacerbated tensions in the region. In these conditions, Russia and China are interested in alleviating the tensions. Both states will take joint steps with the aim to create the conditions for peaceful regulation of conflict situations," the Russian ministry stated. The top diplomats also agreed to maintain cooperation within the UN Security Council.

 

On Friday, the Pentagon confirmed that a missile strike near the Baghdad airport killed the head of the Quds Force Qasem Soleimani. The operation was carried out at the direction of US President Donald Trump, the statement said. According to the Pentagon, the strike was defensive, since it was aimed at protecting US troops in Iraq and other countries. Washington blamed Soleimani for allegedly approving a rally outside the US Embassy in Baghdad earlier this week.

 

Following the attack, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran vowed to exact "severe revenge" on those involved in Soleimani’s killing, blaming the United States for the attack. In a phone call with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif blasted the attack as an act of terrorism from the side of the US. He pointed out that Tehran would take international measures to hold Washington responsible for the general’s murder.

BLOWBACK: The Illicit Assassination of General Qasem Soleimani by Trump Will Determine 2020 Election Outcome

 

Israel Using Impeachment to Bolster Trump’s Re-election Prospects While Using the POTUS to Wage War Against Iran Given His Popularity

 

Who doesn’t know by now that the flagrantly corrupt and criminal impeachment process conducted by the Democrats, on orders from the foreign-controlled Deep State, only served to enhance the likelihood of President’s Trump’s re-election?

 

This stealthy scheme has become all too transparent now in its true intent. With each passing day, the utterly absurd impeachment drama can only make sense based on the answer to one question: Cui bono?

Answer: I S R A E L

More accurately, the rogue nation and apartheid state of Israel.

 

In light of the reckless provocations and false flag attacks conducted by the U.S. Armed Forces, the C.I.A., MOSSAD, and the IDF against both Iraq and Iran, it ought to be quite obvious that these atrocious offenses were purposefully timed after the Democrat’s impeachment debacle have all but sealed a 2020 Trump victory.

Consummate Manipulators

 

The Neocon Zionists have always shown themselves to be consummate manipulators of political leaders the world over as well as of the American people.

 

Bibi Netanyahu, in particular, has a dangerous grip on Trump. Through his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Netanyahu is able to easily transmit orders issued by the Zionist grand poobahs who rule in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

 

This extremely precarious predicament only worsens by the day. Israel knows that it must conquer Iran if it is to proceed with the smooth implementation of the Greater Israel project. The Shia Crescent, which was just illegally attacked by the U.S. Military, remains a HUGE obstacle to that covert Zionist scheme to take over the entire Middle East.

 

KEY POINT: The recent protests in Iran were meticulously engineered by the CIA-Mossad-MI6 cabal to so disrupt society there that Tehran would be so preoccupied with the fake rebellion that the nation would be vulnerable to an outside attack.

 

The Zio-Anglo-American Axis has proven time and again that sowing seeds of chaos and conflict in any targeted country will sufficiently soften it up until they are ready for the ZAAA kill.

 

That the Trump administration is even provoking such a powerful military as Iran with their Quds Force reveals the degree of profound psychopathology that exists within the upper ranks of all the Neocon Zionist warmongers inside the Beltway.

Truly, this single act of state-sponsored terrorism approved by Trump will doom his presidency as it is likely to ruin his re-election prospects. Not only was their no declaration of war approved by the U.S. Congress, this heinous war crime was committed in contravention of various international treaties and agreements.

 

Because Trump so willingly follows the orders of his true masters in Tel Aviv, he put Israel’s interests well above those of the American people. In so doing, this highly misguided President has put every flag officer in the U.S. Armed Forces in harm’s way.

 

In other words, every single U.S. Army, Air Force and Marine general, as well as Navy admiral, is now at great risk of being the victim of a stealthy assassination by Iran. Not only that, but as Commander-in-Chief, Trump has quite ignorantly put himself in the crosshairs of determined assassins. He really screwed the pooch with this extraordinarily BAD move.

 

When the Iranian Ayatollah strongly declares that there will be serious repercussions from this unjustifiable criminal act of outright murder, they mean business just as they showed after the 1953 CIA-directed coup in Tehran.

 

KEY POINT: This whole op was specifically set up so that the US would take out the Quds general with Trump himself taking the ‘credit’. Which begs this excellent question asked by a ZeroHedge commenter: Why did US claim the #Soleimani kill, instead of following the Israeli ambiguity playbook? His answer: “Easy. The Jews in control of ‘our’ government want America to be the scapegoat, not Israel.”

 

At the end of the day, Trump’s summary execution and extrajudicial killing of Qasem Soleimani will be looked at as a defining moment of the 21st century, just as the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand triggered the start of World War I. Very few understand that this is exactly what the International Banking Cartel really wants … and desperately needs to provide adequate cover for their slow-motion collapse of the Global Economic & Financial System. See: THEIR FINAL SOLUTION: Market Crash, Dollar Collapse & World War 3

Israel & 5G

 

One of the most disconcerting domestic policies zealously promoted by President Trump himself is the military deployment of 5G across America.

 

The extremely harmful 5G energy grid is being rolled out in major cities as we write this, despite the fact that this dangerous radio-frequency and microwave generator has NEVER been tested for health and safety. Not only that, most of 5G was secretly developed in Israel and yet they will not allow it there. See: Here’s why 5G is NOT allowed in Israel where it was developed

 

Why is Israel pushing so hard for the 5G roll-out knowing the severe health risks and inevitable medical threats? And, why are they really using Trump to support what will surely become an unprecedented public health disaster?

 

Perhaps the answers are the same to the questions about Trump’s highly misguided assaults, both economic and military, on Iran. Israel places NO value on American life. The U.S. citizenry is noting but cannon fodder to the Zionists.

Iran threatens Tel Aviv, US bases in Middle East after killing of Soleimani

 

IRGC commander also warns of the importance of shipping channels in region, says Tehran has identified vital American targets

 

A senior Iranian commander on Saturday threatened that some 35 US targets in the Middle East, as well as Tel Aviv, were within the reach of Tehran to avenge the killing of Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

 

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital point for the West and a large number of American destroyers and warships cross there… vital American targets in the region have been identified by Iran since a long time ago,” said General Gholamali Abuhamzeh, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps in the southern province of Kerman, according to the Reuters news agency.

 

“Some 35 US targets in the region, as well as Tel Aviv, are within our reach,” he added.

Iran Deploys F-14 Fighter Jets, Places Ballistic Missile Bases On ‘High Alert’

 

Tehran has deployed Grumman F-14 Tomcat fighter jets to its borders hours after the U.S. killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in an airstrike at Baghdad international airport, according to Sputnik News.

 

NBC News Tehran Bureau Chief Ali Arouzi tweeted that “Iranian f14 fighters jets maneuvering on the western skies and on alert and patrol.”

 

Al-Mayadeen news tweeted: “Iran: Revolutionary Guard Agency of Iran: Armed forces in the army and Revolutionary Guard are awaiting orders from the highest command.”

 

In other related news, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned in a statement that the “criminals” responsible for the death of a top Iranian general will face “severe revenge,” and that retaliation could be a regional war.

 

And defense analyst Babak Taghvaee tweeted that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) “has put all of its ballistic missile bases on high-alert. #IRGC affiliated news media of #Iran’s Islamic Regime claim that they are ready to launch missiles at several airbases which host #USAF airplanes in #UAE, #Qatar, #SaudiArabia & #Jordan!”

Why a Shadowy Tech Firm With Ties to Israeli Intelligence Is Running Doomsday Election Simulations

 

A shadowy tech firm with deep ties to Israeli intelligence and newly inked contracts to protect Pentagon computers is partnering with Lockheed Martin to gain unprecedented access to the heart of America’s democracy.

 

Election Day 2020: 32 Americans dead, over 200 injured, martial law declared and the election itself is canceled. While this horrific scenario seems more like the plot of a Hollywood film, such was the end result of a recent simulation examining the preparedness of U.S. officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Secret Service against “bad actors” seeking to undermine the upcoming presidential election.

 

Yet, this simulation was not a government-organized exercise but was instead orchestrated by a private company with deep ties to foreign and domestic intelligence services, a company that is also funded by investors with clear connections to individuals who would stand to benefit if such a catastrophic election outcome were to become reality.

 

Much of the rhetoric since the last presidential election in 2016 has focused on the issue of foreign meddling by U.S. rival states like Russia, while China has emerged as the new “meddler” of choice in American corporate media as the 2020 election approaches. Though time has revealed that many of the post-2016 election meddling claims were not as significant as initially claimed, the constant media discussion of foreign threats to U.S. democracy and electoral processes – whether real or imagined – has undeniably created a climate of fear.

 

Those fears have since been preyed upon by neoconservative groups and the U.S. military-industrial complex, both of which are hardly known for their love of demcratic processes, to offer a series of ready-made solutions to these threats that actually undermine key pillars of American democracy, including independent reporting and voting machine software.

 

However, many of the very same media outlets and groups that frequently fretted about Russia, China or another rival state meddling in U.S. democracy have largely ignored the role of other nation states, such as Israel, in efforts to sway the last U.S. election in 2016 and meddle in numerous elections in Africa, Latin America and Asia in the years since.

 

As a consequence of this climate of fear, it should be hardly surprising that the corporate media lauded the recent 2020 election simulation that ended in an abysmal failure for U.S. officials, the cancellation of the U.S. election and the imposition of martial law. Yet, none of those reports on the exercise noted that the company that hosted the simulation, called Cybereason, is led by ex-members of Israel’s military intelligence unit 8200, advised by former top and current officials in both Israeli military intelligence and the CIA. In addition, it is funded by and partnered with top U.S. weapons manufacturer and government contractor Lockheed Martin and financial institutions with clear and direct ties to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and White House adviser and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner. Also left unmentioned in media reports on Cybereason’s election simulations is the fact that Cybereason’s CEO, Lior Div, has openly admitted that he views his work at Cybereason as a “continuation” of his service to Israel’s intelligence apparatus.

>>7714009

 

This past July, Cybereason conducted a similar simulation with officials from the FBI, DHS and the Secret Service for the first time. That simulation, which also took place in Boston, was remarkably similar to that which occurred in November. One intelligence officer from DHS who participated in the July exercise called the simulation “very realistic.” Another claimed that the simulation was a way of applying “lessons learned from 9/11” by preventing the government’s “failure of imagination” that officials have long alleged was the reason for the government’s inability to thwart the September 11 attacks. Notably, The U.S. military simulated a scenario in which terrorists flew airplanes into the Pentagon less than a year before the September 11 attacks.

 

Participating government officials, Cybereason staff and the media have consistently touted the importance of these simulations in securing elections against extreme threats, threats which — to date — have never materialized due to the efforts of foreign or domestic actors on election day. After all, these exercises are only simulations of possibilities and, even if those possibilities seem implausible or unlikely, it is important to be prepared for any eventuality.

 

But what if the very figures behind these simulations and the investors that fund them had a history of election meddling themselves? Cybereason’s deep ties to Israeli intelligence, which has a documented history of aggressive espionage and election meddling in the United States and in several nations worldwide, warrant a deeper look into the firms’ possible motives and the myriad conflicts of interest that arise in giving it such unprecedented access to the heart of America’s democracy.

 

What Does Cybereason Do?

 

Cybereason’s interest in terror events during elections seems out of place given that the company itself is focused on selling technological cybersecurity solutions like antivirus and ransomware protection software, software products that would be minimally effective against the type of threat encountered in the company’s election day simulations.

 

Cybereason is often described as offering a comprehensive technological defense platform to companies and governments that combines a next-generation antivirus with endpoint detection and response (EDR), which enables the company to respond to typical viruses and malware as well as sophisticated, complex attacks. The platform makes heavy use of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing and specifically uses Amazon Web Services (AWS), which is used by a litany of private companies as well as U.S. intelligence agencies.

 

While many cybersecurity platforms combine antivirus and antimalware with EDR and AI, Cybereason claims that their military background is what sets them apart. They have marketed themselves as offering “a combination of military-acquired skills and cloud-powered machine learning to endpoint detection and response” and actively cite the fact that most of their employees are former members of Unit 8200 as proof that they are “applying the military’s perspective on cybersecurity to enterprise security.”

 

In 2018, Cybereason’s former senior director for intelligence, Ross Rustici, described the platform to CBR as follows:

 

Our founders are ex-Israeli intelligence who worked on the offensive side. They basically wanted to build a tool that would catch themselves. We follow the kill chain model started by Lockheed Martin [now a major investor in Cybereason] and try to interrupt every stage once an intruder’s inside a target network.”

Verint/Comverse was initially funded by the Israeli government and was founded by Jacob “Kobi” Alexander, a former Israeli intelligence officer who was wanted by the FBI on nearly three dozen charges of fraud, theft, lying, bribery, money laundering and other crimes for over a decade until he was finally extradited to the United States and pled guilty to some of those charges in 2016.

 

Despite its history of corruption and foreign intelligence connections, Verint/Comverse was hired by the National Security Agency (NSA) to create backdoors into all the major U.S. telecommunications systems and major tech companies, including Facebook, Microsoft and Google. An article on Verint’s access to U.S. tech infrastructure in Wired noted the following about Verint:

 

In a rare and candid admission to Forbes, Retired Brig. Gen. Hanan Gefen, a former commander of the highly secret Unit 8200, Israel’s NSA, noted his former organization’s influence on Comverse, which owns Verint, as well as other Israeli companies that dominate the U.S. eavesdropping and surveillance market. ‘Take NICE, Comverse and Check Point for example, three of the largest high-tech companies, which were all directly influenced by 8200 technology,’ said Gefen.”

 

Federal agents have reported systemic breaches at the Department of Justice, FBI, DEA, the State Department, and the White House going all the way back to the 1990s, breaches they claimed could all be traced back to two companies: Comverse/Verint and Amdocs. Cybereason’s other co-founder and current CEO, Lior Div, used to work for Amdocs as the company’s development group leader.

 

After leaving Amdocs, Div founded a company called Alfatech. Alfatech publicly claims to specialize in “professional Head Hunting and Quality Recruiting services,” yet it has no functional website. Despite its publicly stated mission statement, Israeli media reports that mention Alfatech describe it as “a cybersecurity services company for Israeli government agencies.” No reason for the obvious disconnect between the company’s own claims and those made by the media has been given.

 

Div left Alfatech in 2012 to found Cybereason alongside Striem-Amit and Naar. According to an interview that Div gave to TechCrunch earlier this year, he stated that his work at Cybereason is “the continuation of the six years of training and service he spent working with the Israeli army’s 8200 Unit (emphasis added).” Div was a high-level commander in Unit 8200 and “carried out some of the world’s largest cyber offensive campaigns against nations and cybercrime groups” during his time there. TechCrunch noted that “After his time in the military, Div worked for the Israeli government as a private contractor reverse-engineering hacking operations,” an apparent reference to his work at Alfatech.

>>7714048

 

In addition, as previously mentioned, Cybereason has sought out former intelligence officers from the CIA and Unit 8200 for its management team and board of advisors. The company itself also functions as a private intelligence firm through CIG and Nocturnus, both of which employ former and current intelligence officials, and have made significant claims regarding the attribution of specific cybercrimes to state actors. It appears highly likely that these claims are influenced by those same intelligence agencies that boast close ties to Cybereason. Furthermore, Nocturnus’ access to Cybereason’s “global” network of endpoints makes it a private intelligence gathering company as it gathers and analyzes data from all devices that run Cybereason’s software.

 

Yet, even more telling is the fact that Israel’s government has an open policy of outsourcing intelligence-related activity to the private sector, specifically the country’s tech sector. As MintPress previously reported, this trend was first publicly acknowledged by Israel in 2012, the same year that Cybereason was founded by former Israeli military intelligence officers then-working for private contractors for Israel’s government (Alfatech) or private companies known to have ties to Israeli intelligence, including Verint/Comverse.

 

As noted in an article on the phenomenon from the Israeli media outlet The Calcalist:

 

Israel is siphoning cyber-related activities from its national defense apparatus to privately held companies. Since 2012, cyber-related and intelligence projects that were previously carried out in-house in the Israeli military and Israel’s main intelligence arms are transferred to companies that in some cases were built for this exact purpose.”

 

Mention of Israel’s policy of blurring the lines between the public and private sector when it comes to cybersecurity and intelligence gathering has even garnered the occasional mention in mainstream media, such as in a 2018 Foreign Policy article:

 

Israel, for one, has chosen to combat the problem on a statewide level by linking the public and private spheres, sometimes literally. The country’s cyberhub in the southern city of Beersheba is home not just to the Israeli military’s new technology campus but also to a high-tech corporate park, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev’s cyber-research center, and the Israel National Cyber Directorate, which reports directly to the prime minister’s office. “There’s a bridge between them—physically,” [Gabriel] Avner, the security consultant, said by way of emphasis.”

Judge Rules Hospital Can Remove Child From Life Support Against Parents' Wishes

 

Anguished parents holding out hope their terminally ill 11-month-old daughter will recover. Well-meaning doctors trying to mitigate suffering faced with impossible choices. A judge, caught in the middle, trying to interpret the law to satisfy all parties.

 

Eleven-month-old Tinslee Lewis has been fighting for her life since she was born. She was born prematurely with a heart defect and has never left the hospital. She went into cardiac arrest in July, and since then, has been on a heart-lung machine. She has had half a dozen surgeries, but doctors say there's no hope she will wake up.

 

NBCNews:

 

Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, where Tinslee is on life support, said in a statement that the decision allows it "to make the most compassionate and medically appropriate decisions for Tinslee as she struggles in pain to survive each day."

 

"Our medical judgment is that Tinslee should be allowed to pass naturally and peacefully rather than artificially kept alive by painful treatments," the statement said. "Even with the most extraordinary measures the medical team is taking, Tinslee continues to suffer."

 

Yesterday, a district judge agreed. He ruled the hospital had the right to remove Tinslee from life support.
