Ben Rhodes -vs- Susan Rice: We Didn’t Know About The FBI Flynn Investigation That Obama Instructed The FBI to Conduct “By The Book”…

It’s always worthwhile to revisit past assertions and denials when presented with new evidence. Consider this…

During an interview on April 26, 2019, former Deputy National Security Advisor to President Obama, Ben Rhodes, told a journalist the Obama White House didn’t even know there was an FBI investigation into President-elect Trump or Michael Flynn. WATCH:

If the White House didn’t know about an FBI investigation into Michael Flynn (per Ben Rhodes), then how does President Obama tell the FBI to conduct their investigation “by the book” according to Ben Rhodes boss, National Security Advisor Susan Rice. See the problem?

Not coincidentally, on the same date of this pull-aside meeting between President Obama, James Comey, Sally Yates, Vice-President Biden and Susan Rice (January 5, 2017), likely just prior to the meeting…. President Obama’s chief of staff Denis McDonough had requested Michael Flynn’s name be unmasked from NSA captures of Russian Ambassador Kislyak surveillance:

Now we see why that paragraph in the Susan Rice memo is likely redacted. The paragraph itself is almost certain to contain details about the discussion surrounding incoming Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.

Mysterious Drone Strike Injures Several Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham Militants In Southern Idlib

On May 14, an unidentified unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) targeted a vehicle of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) on a road between the town of Sarmin and the government-held city of Saraqib in southern Idlib.

According to the SMART News Agency, four militants of the al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group were injured in the drone strike.

Opposition activists shared photos showing the targeted vehicle, a white Hyundai Santa Fe SUV. The vehicle received a direct hit with what clearly was a precision-guided munition.

The drone strike took place a few hours after the 11th joint Russian-Turkish patrol on the M4 highway, which links the cities of Lattakia and Aleppo.

Last month, mysterious drone strikes on northwestern Hama killed a number of Turkish-backed militants, including an infamous tank-hunter known as “Maher Tow.” The side responsible for the strikes has not been determined, yet.

Some opposition sources claim that the recent drone strikes on Greater Idlib were carried out by Iran. Others, however, believe that Russia is responsible. Both countries are known to have such capabilities.

Fresno County Sheriff Won’t Enforce Stay-at-Home Orders; Too Busy Re-arresting Freed Criminals

Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said Tuesday that she would not be able to enforce Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home orders because she was too busy re-arresting accused criminals set free under the state’s new “zero-dollar bail” policy.

Mims appeared on the Trevor Carey Show, discussing the challenges facing law enforcement during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the economic hardship. She pointed out that government employees were also vulnerable to the economic damage, because the decline in tax revenues meant that state and local governments would cut services.

Carey asked her: “I’ve heard multiple sheriffs around the nation state they will not enforce their governors’ shelter-in-place orders. Is that your position?

“That is my position. We do not stop the public to find out what they’re doing when they’re not sheltering in place. We don’t ask those questions, we don’t ask if they’re ‘essential’. We’ve got our hands full trying to re-arrest people that are released due to zero-dollar bail. So we’ve got other things that are on our mind that are more important than stopping normally law-abiding citizens.”

Fresno is the fifth-largest city in California and the hub of the state’s agricultural Central Valley. As of Wednesday, the county had recorded 1,014 coronavirus cases and 13 deaths.

California adopted zero-dollar bail after criminal justice reform advocates argued that cash bail was discriminatory.

California began “phase two” of Gov. Newsom’s re-opening plan late last week, with limited reopening of businesses.

Hollywood Faces Carnage as Mass Unemployment Hits Entertainment Industry

Hollywood is seeing a wave of staff reductions from the corporate suites to the theme park turnstiles as entertainment giants including the Walt Disney Co. and Endeavor implement layoffs and furloughs in response to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

Just how bad is the carnage? In Los Angeles County alone, 14,000 entertainment-related workers saw their jobs evaporate in less than two months, according to a new report from tech news outlet dot.LA. Meanwhile, Tinseltown could see even more bloodshed in the second quarter, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Endeavor — the largest Hollywood talent agency, as well as a studio — recently said that it will lay off or furlough up to a third of its staff. Disney has furloughed more than 100,000 employees worldwide, mostly in the company’s parks division.

Hollywood has been hit on multiple fronts, including the closure of cinemas and the suspension of live sports, which is usually a cash cow for broadcasters. The L.A. office of Fox Sports Productions saw 3,595 people temporarily laid off at the end of April, according to dot.LA.

Some of the biggest job losses have come from the production sector, which consists of below-the-line crew members who typically toil year round on crowded movie and TV sets. Hollywood’s trade unions have seen their members idle without work as soundstages around the country remain empty.

Breitbart News reported last week that Hollywood studios are currently working on ways to make sets safe when production ultimately resumes. While no major studio has yet to announce a timetable, one source told Breitbart that U.S. production may resume in June at the earliest.

But L.A. County’s decision to prolong its stay-at-home order for an additional three months is only creating more uncertainty.

Tyler Perry recently announced that his Atlanta studio will resume limited production in July. Countries including New Zealand, Poland, the Czech Republic have also announced that shooting can resume.

The Hollywood Reporter noted that individual studios are remaining vague about potential future layoffs. But some executives have spoken about coronavirus-related cost savings.

ViacomCBS has indicated that it will take more cost-cutting steps in addition to the ones already realized from the re-merger of Viacom and CBS.

Chief financial officer Christina Spade said the company was “taking additional cost-cutting actions and implementing initiatives to reduce discretionary expenses” amid the pandemic. “We are learning from this crisis and finding ways that we can operate more efficiently,” she said during a recent earnings call.

Meanwhile, Disney has begun the gradual process of re-opening its theme parks and resorts. Disney Springs in Orlando is set to partially re-open on May 20, though the adjacent Walt Disney World remains closed. Shanghai Disney Resort recently opened again with visitors required to take special precautions, including social distancing and masks.

Yalkut 245c Extermination of the Christians is a necessary sacrifice. Zohar, Shemoth Tob shebbe goyyim harog - Even the best of the Goyim (Gentiles) should be killed. * “The ‘goyim’ are not humans. They are beasts.” (Baba Mezia 114b) “If you eat with a ‘goy’ it is the same as eating with a dog.” (Tosapoth, Jebamoth 94b) “Sexual intercourse between the ‘goyim’ is like intercourse between animals.” (Sanhedrin 74b)* “All children of the ‘goyim’ (Gentiles) are animals.” (Yebamoth 98a)In Zohar, II, (64b) it says:"…People who worship idols, and who are called cow and ass, as it is written: I have a cow and an ass…"Rabbi Bechai, in his book Kad Hakkemach, ch. I, beginning with the word Geulah—redemption—referring to Psalm 80, v. 13: The boar out of the wood doth waste it, says:"The letter ain is dropped [suspended] the same as these worshippers are followers of him who was suspended."Mas. Shabbath 31b On the house of the Goy [Goy means unclean, and is the disparaging term for a non-Jew] one looks as on the fold of cattle. Zohar, Toldoth Noah 63b When the Messiah comes every Jew will have 2800 slaves. In Midrasch Talpioth (fol. 225d) it says:"God created them in the form of men for the glory of Israel. But Akum were created for thesole end of ministering unto them [the Jews] day and night. Nor can they ever be relieved from this service. It is becoming to the son of a king [an Israelite] that animals in their natural form, and animals in the form of human beings should minister unto him."We can quote here also what is said in Orach Chaiim, 57, 6a:"If pigs are to be pitied when they suffer from disease, because their intestines are similar toours, how much more should the Akum be pitied when thus affected."(49)(49) In Taanith (21b) it says: "How much more the Nokhrim since they are similar to Israelites."

Rabbi Edels, in commenting on Kethuboth (110b) says:"The Psalmist compares the Akum to the unclean beast in the woods."Sanhedrin 59a To communicate anything to a Goy about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the Goyim knew what we teach about them, they would kill us openly. Libbre David 37 A Jew should and must make a false oath when the Goyim asks if our books contain anything against them. A Jew may violate but not marry a non-Jewish girl. Gad. Shas. 2:2 A boy-goy after nine years and one day old, and a girl after three years and one day old, are considered filthy. Pereferkowicz, Talmud t.v., p. 11 They decreed in connection with a heathen child that it should cause defilement by seminal emission sothat an Israelite child should not become accustomed to commit pederasty with him…. It is therefore to be concluded that a heathen girl [communicates defilement] from the age of three years and one day, for inasmuch as she is then capable of the sexual act she likewise defiles by a flux. This is obvious! Avodah Zarah 36b-37a R. Joseph said: Come and hear! A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by coition [intercourse], and if her deceased husband's brother cohabits with her, she becomes his. The penalty of adultery may be incurred through her; [if a niddah] she defiles him who has connection with her, so that he in turn defiles that upon which he lies, as a garment which has lain upon [a person afflicted with gonorrhoea]. Sanhedrin 55b Rab said: Pederasty with a child below nine years of age is not deemed as pederasty with a child above that. Samuel said: Pederasty with a child below three years is not treated as with a child above that.24 (24) I.e., Rab makes nine years the minimum; but if one committed sodomy with a child of lesser age, no guilt is incurred. Samuel makes three the minimum. Sanhedrin 54b Raba said. It means this: When a grown-up man has intercourse with a little girl it is nothing, for when the girl is less than this [three years old], it is as if one puts the finger into the eye; but when a small boy has intercourse with a grown-up woman he makes her as 'a girl who is injured by a piece of wood.'…

Kethuboth 11b [This debate concerns whether or not someone is a virgin. Virginity is prized above all, such that it is believed that a girl under the age of three will regain her virginity, even if a man has had intercourse with her. (Fn. 7 says, in regard to putting "the finger into the eye": "I.e., tears come to the eye again andagain, so does virginity come back to the little girl under three years.") Since virginity is prized above all, one could assume that this conclusion has allowed grown men to have sex with little girls with immunity. A grown-up woman is not deflowered by having sex with a small boy, however, since he is only like a "piece of wood."] Menachoth 43b-44a [A "prayer" or "benediction" to be said by a Jewish man every day: "Thank God for not making me a Gentile, a woman or a slave."] Do not save Goyim in danger of death. Show no mercy to the Goyim. Hilkkoth Akum X1

You May Be Unemployed, But Matt Damon is Living the Dreamy Lockdown 'Fairly Tale'

Actor Matt Damon is residing in Ireland (population 4 million, low overall density compared to New York City) where he is wrapping up on his next film. The Irish government has confined everyone to a 2-square-kilometer radius, which doesn’t bother Damon in the slightest.

“It’s absolutely gorgeous. Even in the 2km lockdown, we’ve got trees, and woods and ocean. I can’t think of any place you’d rather be in a 2km radius of.”

Sounds wonderful.

In fact, life is pretty good for the Talented Mr. Ripley star. It’s an Irish fairytale.

“It feels like a fairytale. When I first came in, people were saying, ‘Well, Bono lives over there, Enya lives over there’,” said Damon. “It’s been incredible. This is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been. Obviously what’s going on in the world is horrible, but I’ve got my whole family; I’m with my kids and we have teachers with us because we were planning on missing school for about eight weeks.”

Damon does allow that the world situation is “horrible” and he feels “guilty” for having teachers on hand to take his kids off of his hands while he enjoys the Emerald Isle. He has never been a fan of homeschooling.

He made sure to take a whack at the country that made him rich.

Damon called (Ireland’s PM) Varadkar “a badass” for returning to medical work during the pandemic. He said he was a “little worried” about returning to the US. “We don’t have adequate testing, so there’s going to be another surge it looks like back home.”

The unwitting star of Team America: World Police should try stepping out of his idylls in the wilds to stay up to date. The United States caught up and passed most of the world on per capita testing back in April and has not looked back. We may not need all those ventilators we’re making.

But what are ya gonna do? It’s Matt Damon. Matt Damon!
