FBI Arrests 3 Members of Extremist Group ‘The Base’ in Maryland

 

Reports say they were planning to travel to Virginia for pro-gun rally

 

The FBI announced it arrested three alleged members of an extremist group in Maryland—about a day after Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency at the state capitol amid alleged threats during a rally at the capitol next week.

 

According to a statement from the Department of Justice, the FBI arrested Brian Mark Lemley of Maryland, William Garfield Bilbrough of Maryland, and Canadian national Patrik Jordan Mathews and charged them with the interstate commerce of weapons and, in the case of Lemley and Bilbrough, transporting illegal aliens.

 

The three were part of a group called “The Base,” which the FBI described as a “racially motivated violent extremist group.”

 

The three men had discussed traveling to a pro-gun rally Monday in Richmond, Virginia, and were preparing for a potential race war, law enforcement officials told The Wall Street Journal, CNN, The New York Times, and other news outlets.

 

The Department of Justice has not responded to a request for comment about the suspects’ plans to travel to the Richmond rally.

 

The FBI said it had monitored encrypted chats among Base group members, where they talked about creating a white “ethnostate” and carrying out violent acts against minorities and other groups.

 

They also discussed starting “military-style training camps and ways to make improvised explosive devices,” the FBI said, while noting that Lemley previously served as a Cavalry Scout in the U.S. Army. Mathews, who was in the United States illegally, was a combat engineer in the Canadian Army.

 

Officials said that in December, Lemley and Mathews obtained firearms parts to manufacture an assault rifle, and later, the three “allegedly attempted to manufacture a controlled substance, DMT, at Lemley and Mathews’s apartment.”

FBI, ICE and Dept of Education IG Investigating Ilhan Omar For Possible Student Loan Fraud, Immigration Fraud

 

The FBI, ICE and the Department of Education’s Inspector General are all looking into Democrat Muslima Rep. Ilhan Omar, according to investigative reporter David Steinberg.

 

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is under heavy fire from the conservative media over her many scandals including marrying her own brother to defraud US immigration, tax fraud, identity fraud and more recently an affair with a married man.

 

Ilhan Omar refuses to answer questions about her fraudulent marriage to her own brother and accuses anyone asking questions of bigotry and Islamophobia.

 

Omar also dodges any questions about her affair with a married man even though her campaign paid over $200,000 to her married lover.

 

David Steinberg’s impeccable investigative reporting on Ilhan Omar over the last few years has revealed she may have committed the “worst crime spree in Congressional history.”

 

There is overwhelming evidence that Ilhan Omar married her own brother to defraud US immigration, then lied about it under oath in her divorce papers.

 

Finally, at least three government agencies are now looking into Ilhan Omar’s case.

Lev Parnas’s Comments To New York Times Conflict With CNN Report About ‘Secret Mission’ For Trump

 

Lev Parnas’s comments to The New York Times on Wednesday appear to conflict with what CNN reported about the Soviet-born businessman back in November.

Parnas told the Times that he did not speak directly with President Donald Trump about his Ukraine-related efforts. Instead, Parnas worked closely with Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

CNN reported on Nov. 16 that associates of Parnas’s said that he claimed that he spoke privately with Trump in late-2018 about Ukraine, and that the president tasked him with a “secret mission.”

 

Lev Parnas, the Soviet-born businessman linked to Rudy Giuliani, told The New York Times on Wednesday that he did not speak directly with President Donald Trump about his Ukraine-related efforts, a claim that appears to conflict with a CNN report published in November.

 

The Times reported that “Mr. Parnas said that although he did not speak with Mr. Trump directly about the efforts, he met with the president on several occasions and was told by Mr. Giuliani that Mr. Trump was kept in the loop.”

 

Those remarks appear inconsistent with what CNN reported on Nov. 16, 2019.

 

According to the network, Parnas told associates after a White House Hanukkah party in 2018 that Trump personally sent him on a “James Bond mission” related to Ukraine.

 

Parnas said that he and another associate, Igor Fruman, had a private meeting with Trump and Giuliani on the sidelines of the event.

Republican Lawmakers Send Letter Demanding FISC Judge Explain Selection Of David Kris

 

Ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Ranking member of the Oversight and Reform Subcommittee on Government Operations Mark Meadows (R-NC) are demanding answers from presiding Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Judge James Boasberg in regards to the appointment of David Kris to oversee the secret court’s reform process, according to a letter submitted to the secret court by the Republican lawmakers.

“Mr. Kris has frequently defended the FBI’s existing electronic surveillance practices,” the Republican lawmakers wrote. “In February 2018, as the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) prepared to release a memorandum of findings about FISA abuses, Mr. Kris boasted about the rigorous process for FISA warrants.”

The lawmakers asked Boasberg to answer a number of questions, including an explanation as to “whether the FISC reviewed and considered Mr. Kris’s writings and statements about Carter Page and the FBI’s electronic surveillance of Mr. Page prior to appointing Mr. Kris as amicus curiae. If not, please explain why not.”

“The Sara Carter Show” first broke the news on Monday when Rep. Meadows told host Sara A. Carter that the Republican leaders were drafting a letter to send to the secret court judge.

 

“I can tell you that a few of us, are not only appealing this to the Judge who has now taken over the FISA process but we are also looking at this when it comes to renewing the FISA process within Congress,” Meadows told “The Sara Carter Show.”

 

“Not only did it happen, but it happened deliberately and until we fix it all Americans are at risk,” Meadows warned.

 

Meadows and Jordan cited several examples of Kris’s bias in their recent letter. Kris has been an open critic of President Donald Trump and is considered an “FBI apologist.” He was selected “to assist the Court in assessing the government’s response” on Jan. 10, according to a letter Boasberg drafted.

 

“It is critically important that FBI applications accurately and fully reflect information known to the Bureau that is material to those applications,” said Boasberg in his letter.

Military chief: Iran not interested in escalation of tensions

 

Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri says the Islamic Republic is not interested in escalation of tensions in the region, but is ready to give a crushing response to any act of aggression.

 

“Iran is not interested in further escalation of tensions, but will give a crushing response to any irrational action and act of aggression, and we hope that withdrawal of the US from the region would put an end to all [the existing] chaos and conflicts,” Major General Baqeri said in a phone call with Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar on Thursday.

 

Baqeri said the United States touched off “a new round of tensions in the region” through its recent assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, who commanded the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), and other acts of aggression, namely attacks targeting the headquarters of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) and some outposts in Syria.

 

Soleimani, who has earned reputation as West Asia's most revered anti-terror commander due to his indispensable contribution to defeating terrorist outfits such as Daesh across the region, was martyred in a set of US airstrikes on January 3 in Baghdad. The strikes also led to the martyrdom of some others, including Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the PMU’s second-in-command.

 

In retaliation, the IRGC fired volleys of ballistic missiles last Wednesday at the US’s Ain al-Assad air base in the western Iraqi Anbar Province, and another facility in Erbil, the capital of the semi-autonomous Iraqi Kurdistan, both of which housed American forces.

Seven Short Observations about God

 

Why do our minds shut down

at the mere mention of God?

Why does the word arouse

such resistance?

 

God is the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, truth and lies, beauty and ugliness, healthy and sick, natural and unnatural. Tell me, God does not exist?

 

1) If you discovered a chip had been implanted in your brain to control your thinking, would you be upset?

 

You bet!

 

This has happened to us all. No chip but, just as surely, we have been programmed to reject the concept of God.

 

What do the mind controllers have against the Creator? Obviously the Divine Plan runs contrary to their plan to enslave humanity.

 

Why didn't we question the motives of people who peddled a materialistic, mechanistic and Godless universe? Why didn't we suspect that existentialist chic was a satanist psy-op?

Why didn't we suspect that what passes for culture, education and entertainment is a vast mind control matrix.

 

  1. Our concept of God is obsolete yet very few people have updated it. They discredited God by creating a farcical image of an omniscient, omnipotent old man in the sky who seems neither omniscient nor omnipotent.

 

They infiltrated all religions so that God's supposed representatives on earth bring Him shame.

 

  1. God is what we are all seeking: Bliss, Love, Goodness, Justice, Beauty and Truth. For humans, God is a state of Consciousness where all of these things are self-evident. God is Consciousness. Consciousness is our true identity. We suffer because we have been trained to reject the only thing that can bring us happiness.

“Why America Needs War”? Why Are US Military Expenditures “Going Through the Roof”?

 

US Defense Contractors Sell "Scrap Metal" to the US Government at a Premium Price Tag

 

Back in 2003, an alternative media site based in Belgium – Indy Media, published a rather clever article titled “Why America Needs War” written by renowned historian and political scientist, Dr. Jacques R. Pauwels.

 

Due to the fact that this article has recently been republished by a well-known and respected alternative media site Global Research, a lot of attention has been drawn to the topic of Washington’s never-ending wars. In the above-mentioned article it was stated that wars are a terrible waste of lives and resources, and for that reason most people are in principle opposed to wars.

 

However, with the US being locked in a state of perpetual conflict with other international players, it’s only natural to wonder what is wrong with American politicians? Are they all suffering from some mental disease?

 

The reason the events we’re observing on the global stage are actually taking place is the fact that the US has been relying on the thing that Dr. Pauwels describes as the “warfare economy” that the US has been relying on for over a century now. This economy allows wealthy individuals and corporations to profit from violence and bloodshed, which makes them prone to advocating wars instead of peaceful conflict resolution. Yet, the article states that without warm or cold wars, however, this system can no longer produce the expected result in the form of the ever-higher profits the moneyed and powerful of America consider as their birthright. It’s clear that the US couldn’t escape the cold grip of the Great Depression without entering WWII, however, as it’s been stated in the above-mentioned article:

 

During the Second World War, the wealthy owners and top managers of the big corporations learned a very important lesson: during a war there is money to be made, lots of money. In other words, the arduous task of maximizing profits — the key activity within the capitalist American economy — can be absolved much more efficiently through war than through peace; however, the benevolent cooperation of the state is required.

 

Yet, the people of the United States didn’t notice this change as they were mesmerized by the rapidly growing wages and booming corporations that needed an ever increasing number of new employees. That’s why there’s been no real opposition to America’s warmongering inside the US, which means that Washington will be looking for new enemies even when it has none. This results in the states like Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela, that were willing at one point or another to discuss their differences with the US, being antagonized and getting designated as a threat to the US and its national security.

 

That’s why the military expenditures in the US keep going through the roof, with research and development programs for the US military getting unprecedented funding. However, what is being presented as a race towards greater security represents a shameless siphoning of the money paid by American taxpayer into the pockets of the major defence contractors. It would be only logical if the US legal system, instead of investigating dubious reports of Russia’s alleged meddling in the US election, would take a closer look at the way blood money is shaping the world of US politics.

Israeli Army Annual Report: “Turkey is our Enemy”

 

The powerful Israeli military intelligence service, in its annual report, views Turkey as a major and serious threat to the country, especially in the Mediterranean region.

 

The powerful Israeli military intelligence service, in its annual report, views Turkey as a major and serious threat to the country, especially in the Mediterranean region.

 

In this “written assessment” of the Israeli General Staff, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is seen as promoting an increasingly aggressive stance in the region, threatening Israel’s energy and maritime interests.

 

Despite the official retention of diplomatic ties by the Israeli government, the Israeli military has added the Turkish Republic to its list of main threats in its annual assessment for next year, putting it in the top spot in the light of its growing aggression. in the area.

 

This is the first time the Israeli Military Intelligence Service has included Turkey on that list.

 

” Relations between Israel and Turkey are getting worse with the responsibility of Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is used to attacking the Jewish state while supporting and supplying Palestinian terrorist groups to operate freely in his country, ” she.

 

Although the Israeli military sees no direct confrontation with Turkey in 2020 in the assessment presented to Israeli decision-makers each year, Turkey’s ever-increasing offensive in the region has made it one of the top threats, for this and for nothing. is not certain, and the Turkish armed forces will be closely monitored.

 

The report does not describe a specific threat from Turkey to Israel, but it does elaborate that the policies pursued by Erdogan, whose Islamist party is an ally of the Muslim Brotherhood, are a cause for great concern for the Israeli general staff.

 

” In recent months, Ankara has stepped up its expansion by conducting military operations near Syria, proposing the creation of an EEZ with Libya, despite the fact that it violates the territorial waters of Israel’s ally, Greece, ” the report said.

 

In an interview with Channel 13 last month, the Israeli foreign minister said it was his country’s “official position” that a possible Turkey-Libya gas pipeline would be illegal.

 

“But that does not mean that we are sending warships to confront Turkey,” he said.

Thousands of Fish Dead After Heavy Rains Wash Bushfire Ash into Australian River

 

Thousands of fish are dead after severe thunderstorms in Australia this week washed bushfire ash into the Macleay River, located in the Northern Tablelands and Mid North Coast districts of the New South Wales state.

 

The wildfires raging in southern Australia have killed upwards of half a billion animals, but the arrival of blaze-extinguishing heavy rains earlier this week did not herald the end of mass animal deaths. According to fisheries experts, a mass fish kill took place in a 60 to 70 kilometer stretch of the river near Bellbrook in the Kempsey Shire of New South Wales when ash from the charred forests was swept into the waterway by the deluge.

 

"It'd be in the hundreds of thousands," Arthur Bain, who lives near the river, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), referencing the number of fish around Bellbrook that have died.

 

"Talking to other locals further up the river, the fish kill stretches possibly 60 kilometers from where the Apsley River feeds into the Macleay system, to well past Bellbrook. It's pretty devastating if you're looking at a 60-kilometer stretch of river. It's left mud and rotten fish, so we've got quite a smell issue at the moment,” Bain added, also noting that it could take years for the river’s ecosystem to be restored.

 

The New South Wales Department of Primary Industries (DPI) said that it has received calls about mass fish deaths his week.

 

"DPI fisheries staff have been on high alert for these circumstances since the commencement of the bushfire season," a DPI spokesperson confirmed to ABC.

 

"Current rainfall events are adding ash from the extensive bushfires throughout the region into local catchments, as well as other organic material and sediment. This can cause rapid drops to oxygen levels in the water," the spokesperson continued.

 

Some Bellbrook locals reportedly tried to re-oxygenate the river using pumps and hoses after first noticing the dead fish.

 

Thunderstorms delivered heavy rain to parts of Australia from the states of Victoria into Queensland on Thursday. More rain is expected throughout the weekend, especially across eastern New South Wales and Queensland.

 

Although the much-needed rain is providing some temporary relief amid the wildfire crisis, the heavy rainfall could also cause flash flooding, according to meteorologist Sarah Scully of Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology. The Victoria State Emergency Service has already released several photos showing damage caused by the storm, as well as by sinkholes resulting from it.

 

Some parts of Melbourne received as much as 3 inches of rain Thursday, while more than 10,000 homes and businesses lost power in New South Wales due to the storms. The New South Wales Rural Fire Service tweeted Thursday that even though the “rain won't extinguish all fires, it will certainly go a long way towards containment."

Final hurdle preventing Netanyahu immunity removal likely next week

 

Netanyahu announced on Thursday that he was formally joining the Likud's petition to the High Court against Knesset legal adviser Eyal Yinon's ruling allowing the House Committee to be formed.

 

Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein is expected at the beginning of next week to announce a date for the Knesset plenum to convene to pass the final proposal necessary to ensure that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's immunity will be removed.

 

There is a majority for removing Netanyahu's immunity in the Knesset plenum and there will also be in the House Committee that will legislate the rejection of his request for immunity from prosecution in his criminal cases. The Knesset Arrangements Committee passed a proposal on Monday to create a House Committee, even though it is normally only established after a government is formed.

But the committee's decision is pending approval by the Knesset plenum. Blue and White pressure Edelstein unsuccessfully for the plenum to be convened this week, while Netanyahu’s associates applied opposite pressure on Edelstein to try to prevent, or at least delay, the convening of the plenum.

 

Edelstein's associates said he was not taking either threat too seriously. Blue and White said it would start a process of toppling Edelstein if he did not convene the plenum by Monday, but sources close to Edelstein noted that overthrowing him also depended on him convening the Knesset, so it did not matter. The sources said the Likud's pressure was also irrelevant, because he is required to convene the plenum within a reasonable time after he receives a formal request from 25 MKs.

The House Committee will vote to reject Netanyahu's immunity after some three weeks of deliberations. After the vote to reject

immunity, Netanyahu’s indictment will be filed to Jerusalem District Court but will not begin for several months. Once the indictment is filed, Netanyahu will not be able to request immunity from the next Knesset.

 

Netanyahu announced on Thursday that he was formally joining the Likud's petition to the High Court against Knesset legal adviser Eyal Yinon's ruling allowing the House Committee to be formed.

 

When the plenum next convenes, former Blue and White MK Yorai Lahav Hertzanu will be sworn in, replacing MK Gadi Yevarkan, who resigned on Wednesday in order to run with the Likud in the March election.

FLASHBACK: GAO Found Barack Obama Broke the Law in 2014 and Put US Lives in Danger – But No Calls for His Impeachment

 

Speaker Pelosi switched tactics once again this morning.

Democrats now want to impeach President Trump for not giving tax-payer dollars to the corrupt Ukrainian government fast enough.

 

Pelosi made the announcement on Thursday morning during her weekly briefing.

 

The Government Accountability Office issued a legal opinion on Thursday saying the Trump Administration did not give US tax-payer dollars to corrupt Ukraine fast enough.

The GAO just happened to release their report on Thursday morning to help Democrats and Nancy Pelosi.

 

What a coincidence!

Michael Tracey: Elizabeth Warren Engaged in ‘Collusion’ with ‘Corporate Media Outlet’ CNN to Take Out Bernie

 

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) engaged in “collusion” with CNN in “one of the most egregious calculated hit jobs that we’ve ever really seen in modern political history,” independent journalist Michael Tracey told Breitbart News, referring to allegations made by Warren — and leaked to CNN — that Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) privately told her a woman could not win the 2020 presidential election.

 

Tracey joined Wednesday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with host Rebecca Mansour and special guest host John Binder.

 

“CNN totally accepted the framing of Warren’s side of this quote-unquote argument being correct,” said Tracey, describing the CNN moderator’s question for Sanders concerning the allegation at Tuesday’s Democrat debate in Des Moines, IA. “It was choreographed by the Warren campaign with an assist from CNN. They leaked this story — attributed to sources — to CNN the day before CNN was hosting the debate, and they knew it was obviously going to be asked at the debate, and Warren had pre-prepared talking points at the ready, so what you really have to describe this as, I think, is collusion — remember that word? — between the Warren campaign and CNN.”

 

Afterwards, Sanders’ supporters described the CNN-hosted debate as “rigged,” sharing hashtag messages #IStandWithBernie and #CNNIsTrash.

 

Tracey explained, “[Elizabeth Warren] actually is working alongside a corporate media outlet to take down the leading candidate of the left, and it’s ironic, because Warren was widely touted as Bernie’s most loyal ally, and they had this so-called pact, which, of course, was never going to hold, because as Warren’s campaign gained a measure of momentum over the past year, she brought on many Hillary Clinton-style retreads — people within the Democratic Party’s sort of institutional apparatus who you just knew deep down were never going to be content with Bernie. And they brought on a whole set of people who, I guess, have successfully lobbied for Warren to depict herself now, in this sort of last ditch effort to regain the lead, as the champion of women.”

 

Warren seeks to use her sex as a political commodity, added Tracey, “[Elizabeth Warren] telegraphed, weeks ago, that she was now going to be presenting herself as the first woman candidate, and to use that as a central argument for why she was the most desirable candidate to be nominated.”

 

“[This] looks like a total ambush,” said Tracey of CNN’s Wednesday release of audio capturing a post-debate exchange between Sanders and Warren.

 

Mansour asked if Warren knew her post-debate exchange with Sanders would be captured and publicly shared by CNN.

 

“Of course she did,” replied Tracey. “The entire thing was orchestrated. That’s what’s so craven about it.”

 

He also noted that some media figures are using the language of the #MeToo movement in discussing the Sanders-Warren disagreement.

 

“It’s not just random trolls on the Internet trying to appropriate the #MeToo nomenclature in reference to this episode,” observed Tracey. “It’s high-profile journalists with a lot of influence like Julia Ioffe, who is widely touted as a leading expert — mostly on Trump-Russia stuff, where she’s totally failed, so it’s not surprising to me that she would fail in her analysis of this situation.”

 

Tracey continued, “Just think of how despicable that is. Whatever you think of #MeToo, the whole concept that you need to believe women or at least give women more of a benefit of the doubt was intended to apply specifically to situations where there was ambiguity around claims of sexual assault. And they’re now transposing that onto a dispute between two politicians, one of which happens to be a man and one of which happens to be a woman. So it’s a total manipulative distortion of that entire concept.”

 

Warren’s coordination with CNN may damage her credibility among those on the left, speculated Tracey.

Air Force Two-Star Fired Amid Investigation into Misconduct Allegations

 

The head of the Air Force Research Lab at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is under investigation after misconduct allegations were made against him and has been removed from his position.

 

Gen. Arnold Bunch, head of Air Force Materiel Command, relieved Maj. Gen. William Cooley from his post Wednesday "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to lead," the command said in a release, adding that the move is related to the ongoing investigation.

 

Derek Kaufman, spokesman for AFMC, told Military.com that Cooley has been temporarily reassigned as the special assistant to Bunch while officials look into the allegations.

 

Kaufman added that the Air Force Office of Special Investigations is looking into the matter, but could not comment on the nature of inquiry. However, a military lawyer previously told Military.com that when "OSI embarks on an investigation, it is inherently a criminal investigation."

 

"The Air Force takes any misconduct allegation seriously," Bunch said in the release. "I expect our leadership to uphold the highest standards and live up to the Air Force's core values."

 

Brig. Gen. Evan Dertien has been appointed as the new AFRL commander, officials said in the release. Dertien was previously AFRL's vice commander from July 2016 to May 2017.

 

"I have great confidence in Brig. Gen. Dertien and in the professionalism of the entire AFRL workforce," Bunch said. "Together, they will remain focused on implementing the U.S. Air Force Science and Technology 2030 Strategy and ensuring AFRL is best postured to support the National Defense Strategy."

 

Cooley became the AFRL commander in May 2017, according to his official Air Force biography. Prior to his role in Ohio, Cooley was the program executive for programs and integration at the Missile Defense Agency at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama.

 

In April, Cooley unveiled the service's S&T 2030 Strategy following a 12-month review to analyze how and where the service could strengthen or foster new relationships with the science community, academic universities and industry partners.

 

"To ensure that we have confidence in and understand how to employ these new technologies and capabilities, we have to demonstrate them in a relevant environment, build prototypes and perform experimentation," he said at the time. "This will build confidence in these new technologies for our warfighter."
